A podcast series about BORDERS. Launching in May 2020, the series will contain a range of innovative and creative documentary, investigative and essay episodes about crossing and maintaining borders and boundaries of all kinds. The concept of borders has been a flashpoint in nearly every major field of interest over the past decade. From the nationalist movements and migration crises of geopolitics, to the Hawking-Hartle state (the 'no-boundary proposal') of astrophysics, to the breakdown of social contract theory in economics evident in the climate crisis and the Extinction Rebellion responses to it, to the limits of atomism and ego-centrism exposed by recent developments in philosophy and psychology, borders seem at times both impossible and persistent.
