Cluster Programs: Border Crossings

This cluster will interrogate the challenges and consequences of crossing the boundaries constructed when exclusionary identities become accepted. Categories of nation, race, religion, sex, and class assume the existence of fixed borders. In many cases, at many times, these boundaries are transgressed. The cluster will examine how individuals and societies have responded to challenges to their boundaries.
