<p>Our guest: Irasema Coronado, Professor of Political Science and Director of the School of Transborder Studies at Arizona State University</p><p>In this podcast, we will explore the complex issues surrounding the US–Mexico border. From the impact of border security on local communities to shared environmental challenges, such as water management, we’ll dive into the issues shaping the region’s social and ecological future. After a global overview of the US-Mex Border, the first part of the podcast will dive into the social challenges that define the region, including the effects of migration policies that shape cross-border movement, the hardening of the border through the Wall and increased enforcement. The borderland is also source of resilience, interdependent economy, and cultural creativity.</p><p>Time Markers</p><p>00:00 Introduction to Irasema Coronado</p><p>01:51 The complex US-Mex border region and its characteristics</p><p>05:19 Daily lives, resilience and creativity of borderlanders</p><p>08:58 El Paso-Ciudad Juarez as a quintessential borderland</p><p>12:00 Governance power and transnational political elites</p><p>15:13 Evolution of the Hardening Process of the US-Mex border</p><p>19:03 Effects of the Wall and the 2025 security and deportation policies</p><p>22:28 Border Mixed Feelings</p><p>26:15 Families, Women and Children live at the border</p><p>30:53 Social Justice Challenges in the Borderland</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Websites:</strong></p><p>BIG Website: <a href="https://biglobalization.org/">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://biglobalization.org  ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</a></p><p>JMN Website: <a href="https://www.uvic.ca/humanities/intd/europe/eu-grants/network/hmsdata-20-23/index.php">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.uvic.ca/humanities/intd/europe/eu-grants/network/hmsdata-20-23/index.php⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</a></p><p>Subscribe: <a href="http://bit.ly/2AL0HbO">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠http://bit.ly/2AL0HbO⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</a> </p><p>Facebook: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/BordersInGlobalization">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/BordersInGlobalization⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</a> </p><p>Twitter: <a href="https://twitter.com/big_uvic">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://twitter.com/big_uvic ⁠</a></p>
