PS 353 - The Border (3)

This course is about putting a human face on the politics of the US border. In this course, we will explore the US-Mexico border through readings and a ten-day trip to Del Rio, Texas, Acuña, Mexico, and environs. Together, we will ask these questions: What does the border mean to those who live there, those who don’t, and to us? What does the experience of crossing borders entail? How do we better love our neighbors who are migrants and foreigners?
