Critical border studies

Critical Border Studies is an interdisciplinary field that examines the social, political, and economic implications of borders and border policies. It questions the power dynamics involved in drawing borders and how these divisions affect migration, identity, and human rights. This field explores not only physical barriers like walls and fences but also the ideological and cultural boundaries that influence people's movements and relationships. By analyzing borders critically, scholars aim to understand their role in shaping global inequalities and to advocate for more just and humane approaches to matters of migration and citizenship.
