We are growing as a non-binding and non-bound research community of interested scholars and practitioners worldwide who work on, with, or at borders. We are connected through professional interest in advancing particular emerging theoretical approaches to borders and bordering, or through a drive to develop new perspectives and methods for unpacking evolving issues or concerns. We are connected through a belief in drawing intellectual inspiration from diverse approaches and border lens. We always want to hear new insights from the empirical settings we work, or, on the contrary, eager to know how things are the same but different in other regions and contexts.

We want to hear from you, and grow!

Blogs and photo essays   

While we occasionally announce calls for new essay or photo essay contests on specific themes, we accept research blog posts and essays on a regular basis. We do not have a strict style guide or template for this format but we recommend to browse our website for the style of presentation. Research blog posts should be between 500-1500 words in length and will go through an anonymous peer-review by members of the Eur-Asian Border Research Community, selected by the TLU Lab team. HERE are further guidelines for the Blog posts and photo essays.
