Episode Synopsis

Are borders real or imaginary? Do borders require a territory or area of land, or are there domains without physical space that still contain borders?

In this week’s podcast, and in light of recent events, we discuss the complexity of borders and jurisdictions. We explore territorialism in the animal kingdom, the history and economics of borders, and how borders can shape national identity. Finally, we share some of our favourite borders.

A few things we mentioned in this podcast:
