In this episode, Lola Aubry and Anne-Laure Amilhat Szary from the University of Grenoble-Alpes explore new ways of thinking about borders – beyond the human.

Drawing on the UniGR-CBS Border Realities Lecture Series (2024-25), the discussion explores how ecological crises, the Anthropocene and posthumanist theories are reshaping our perception of borders. Rather than merely being political lines, borders are presented as entanglements of humans, animals, landscapes, and things.

Topics include:

• Why the nature-culture divide no longer holds
• How nature itself acts as a border agent
• New methods for “more-than-human” border studies
• A preview of the Marie Curie BorderWhale Project, exploring whales and maritime border spaces
