Episode Synopsis

Professor Juliet Fall is a political and environmental geographer at the University of Geneva in Switzerland. Juliet’s work focuses on questions of border infrastructure, biosecurity, and the boundaries between humans and nature.

In this podcast, we discussed her new book, Along the Line: Writing with Comics and Graphic Narrative in Geography, which interleaves ethnographic comics with academic essays. Our conversation explored what it means to research infrastructure through drawing, the layered histories of borders in Europe, and the way both infrastructure and drawing mediate between scales of the abstract and the intimate.
