The workshop “Living in European Borderlands” will present research on the everyday dimension of European borderlands understood as emerging and historically changing socio-spatial formations. This comparative endeavour brings together scholars from different disciplines, from across Europe, working on various European borderlands, showcasing the multifariousness and complexity of the forces and processes that are at work in these rapidly changing social spaces. An important goal of the interdisciplinary composition of the workshop participants is to encourage the connection of historical research and studies on contemporary developments in European borderlands.
