Borders could be seen as threatening, as a rejection, as a safety blanket etc. This episode is part of a mini series of episodes dealing with the subject of borders, especially state borders in Europe, their internalization and effect on different areas of society.In the first episode,sociologist
Lisa Marie Borrelli (University of Applied Sciences Western Switzerland - Valais) and legal scholar
