Julie Klinger,<\/a>\u00a0Assistant Professor of International Relations at the\u00a0<\/span>Frederick S. Pardee School of Global Studies at Boston University,<\/a>\u00a0is co-organizing\u00a0a paper and panel session on frontiers at the 2018 Annual Meeting of the American Association of Geographers,\u00a0which will be\u00a0held in New Orleans from April 10 – 14, 2018.\u00a0<\/span>Klinger and her co-organizer <\/span>Teo Ballv\u00e9 of the Department of Geography and Peace and Conflict Studies Program at Colgate University have issued\u00a0a call for papers<\/a>.<\/p>\n

From the text of the call for papers<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\u00a0Frontiers are socially produced spaces. As Anna Tsing puts it, they are \u2018conjured\u2019 into being through anti-local and extra-local powers. The frontier as a concept, debate, field site, and object of study has a long and storied history in Geography (See, for example, Holditch 1899; Hills 1906; Browne 1929; Foweraker 1981; Blomley 2003; Hecht 2005; Redclift 2006; Barney 2009; Moore 2015; Peluso and Vandergeest 2011; Ballv\u00e9 2012; Watts 2012; RGS-IBG 2013; Hecht 2016; Klinger 2017, inter alia), but the term has received comparatively little attention relative to the discipline\u2019s other spatial keywords\u2014region, location, scale, place, territory, etc. Leaving aside the question of international \u201cborders,\u201d the proposed session seeks papers that examine the spatiality of frontiers from critical perspectives and in the present moment.<\/p>\n

In particular, this paper and panel series proposes to explore how contemporary frontiers are produced by and how they continue to shape contemporary societies. The basic premise here is that all frontiers are the real-and-or-imagined \u201cedges\u201d of something for someone, but this call for papers purposefully leaves open the question as to what exactly the frontier in question is the \u201cedge of.\u201d Paper topics could range from state power to resource extraction; from expansionist cultural projects, to urbanization, and much more. Through a collection of papers, the sessions aim to answer the questions: How should we conceptualize today\u2019s frontiers? How are these frontiers being created? How do they work and what work do they do?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
