Ethnography of Borders

Ethnography of borders is a research approach that examines the social and cultural dynamics of geographical boundaries between nations and communities. It involves immersive observations and interactions with people living near or crossing these borders to understand their experiences, identities, and conflicts. This field studies how borders influence daily life, migration, trade, and cultural exchange, highlighting the human aspects that often get overlooked in political discussions. By focusing on personal narratives and local practices, ethnography of borders reveals the complexities of belonging, movement, and the impact of policies on individuals and communities.
