About Barriers and Borders: 
In recent years, political turmoil in both North America and Europe has been focused, arguably to an unprecedented extent, on barriers to movement. The resurgence of nationalism, anti-immigrant sentiment, religious intolerance, and protectionism are aspects of restriction that restrain and inhibit cross-border flows of people, goods, money, ideas, and information. At present, the world also struggles with new barriers to movement coupled with personal restrictions imposed by the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic.
These sources of closure, often marked by anxiety and mistrust, are placing liberal constitutional regimes under great pressure.
Barriers and Borders aims to deepen trans-Atlantic scholarly exchanges by convening a research network centred on these themes. It seeks to bring sustained conceptual, analytical, and historical attention to the causes and consequences of constructing (or reconstructing) such impediments.
