Program Description

Event Details

In his latest book on travel, history and culture, Postcards from the Borderlands, historian and journalist David Mould explores the meaning of borders. Are they simply political and geographical, marked by posts, walls and fences, or should we think of them more broadly? Some borders, set by surveys and treaties, take no account of geography, language and culture. There are borders within countries — physical, economic or social. And finally there are the borders of our minds — the way we may think of unfamiliar places.

This presentation will also be available virtually via Zoom. Register to receive a Zoom link prior to the presentation.
