Border politics at our doorstep with Ieva Jusionyte
About this episode
Ieva Jusionyte discusses how borders shape society and her recent recognitions for her research.
How do borders — both the physical barriers and the political realities — shape our society? These questions have long driven the work of Ieva Jusionyte, an anthropologist at the Watson School and director of Watson’s Center for Human Rights and Humanitarian Studies. In the last nine months, Ieva won both a MacArthur Genius grant and a Guggenheim fellowship for her path-breaking work exploring how political borders shape individuals and communities. On this episode, Dan Richards talks with Ieva about her research, how it feels to have her work receive so much recognition, and what we can all learn from border communities as immigration enforcement comes to our collective doorstep.
