Boundaries mark literal and figurative divisions, as well as distinctions in practices and worldviews.

In the February thematic series on boundaries, authors explore boundaries in terms of immigration, politics, health and spirituality. This month we’re pleased to start the series with essays by:

Peter C Little | Boundary Movements for Toxics Advocacy

Francesca Meloni and Marouane Tlili | Making Ourselves: The Re-creation of the Self in Political Revolutions in Italy and Tunisia
