Stemming from the 2014 Berlin Border Seminar, the Comparative Research Network has published the first of a two-part special edition of the International Journal of Contemporary Economics and Administrative Sciences,“Implications of Borders on Culture and Economics.” The publication features a wide range of interdisciplinary border studies projects, including one of my own, “Spirit, Transformation, and Gender in Borderlands: A Representative Case Study.” It’s free to access, so check it out here.

The cover features the Oder River near the campus of the European University Viadrina, separating Frankfurt (Oder), Germany and Slubice, Poland.
