the theoretical and practical implications of border crossings and boundary
definitions. We invite considerations of, and variations on, this theme from
multi- and interdisciplinary backgrounds, from all fields and disciplines.

crossings and boundary definitions are welcome. We especially encourage panels
organized around a theme that cuts across disciplinary perspectives.

- Racial Performance
- Landscape

- Transnational texts
- Postcolonial Narratives
