© 2026 Borders Talk: Dots, Dashes & the Stories They Tell
Description
Hosted by Border Studies academics Zalfa Feghali and Gillian Roberts, this podcast explores border depictions and encounters in our contemporary world.
Zalfa, Gillian, and their guests discuss borders, their cultural manifestations, and their implications. In their aim to make the academic field of border studies accessible to non-specialist audiences, they ask questions like: “What do borders look like?”, “How are borders used and mobilised in our everyday lives?”, and “What different borders can be known?”
To answer these questions, they consider current events, personal stories, and specialist academic texts, as well as exploring and reflecting on “classic” texts of Border Studies.

Send us a Message For the benefit of Frankie the Flat Coated Retriever and her fans, we’re not saying that she will always come second behind her older Labrador sister, but we’re not not saying that, either. The Guardian article we refer to about the Poland-Belarus border is Jon Henley’s “‘People treated like weapons’: more deaths feared at Poland-Belarus border” (2021). We quote from Susan Kouguell’s interview with Agnieszka Holland (2024) from the Script website. For more on Polish politici...

Lines Drawn upon the Water is the title of a collection edited by Karl S. Hele about First Nations people in the Great Lakes borderlands. Speaking of the Great Lakes, our favourite line of David W. McFadden’s about Lake Huron is (still) from Great Lakes Suite. Behold the (UK) cover of Yann Martel’s 2001 novel Life of Pi. For more on...
