INTL 3350 — Borders and Racial Security
4 semester hoursUndergraduateLectureusually offered: falltypical days: M/W/ThBostonTraditional
Presents a comprehensive overview of governance of borders across the world. Addresses the disconnect and tension between the concept of a world without borders and the post–September 11 realities of increased border securitization. Explores the link between securitized borders and racism by unpacking the concept of racial security. Critically examines how borders are used to treat various groups and people differently, and introduces an intersectional analysis of race, ethnicity, gender, and class. Explores the geopolitics of securitized borders, border cities, and bordering practices beyond material border zones. Analyzes cross-border activities, transnational human rights activism, and freedom of mobility.
