Mission & Interests
Goals: The (B)OrderS Centre is the first to undertake an interdisciplinary, systematic, and legally grounded exploration of the means and modes of borders and their implications for ordering and othering within and beyond the law, paying particular attention to apparently “borderless” phenomena that seem to defy the logics of differentiation inherent in border-making. The illumination of law’s role, from a fully interdisciplinary perspective and with a wide reach spatially, conceptually, and methodologically, sets the (B)OrderS Centre apart from similar ventures, which tend to have a mono-disciplinary basis, a specific geographical focus and traditional understanding of borders, or largely disregard the legal dimension. Migration, climate change, the global health crisis, IT/data governance, as well as the legacies of empire require new ways to conceptualise borders, their “world-making” mechanisms and effects, and the place of legal processes therein, which the (B)OrderS Centre investigates.
