The course provides students with an opportunity to deepen their understanding of territory, space, and border studies through collaborative and interdisciplinary methods. Spaces and boundaries are examined as socially and politically constructed phenomena, shaped by cultural meanings, historical processes, and power relations. The focus is on how territories are constructed through legal, political, and affective practices related to identity, governance, and belonging. The course emphasizes the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration, involving participatory cartography, digital ethnography, and co-creation with communities. It also encourages combining quantitative and qualitative methods by employing new artificial intelligence and computational research tools.
Upon completion, learners will be able to:
- Critically analyze concepts of territory, space, and borders as socially and politically constructed phenomena.
- Assess the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration in exploring spatial and boundary dynamics within contemporary social change contexts.
- Apply participatory and co-creation research methodologies with communities, such as digital ethnography.
- Integrate quantitative and qualitative research methods using computational and AI-based tools.
- Reflect on collaboration as both an epistemological stance and a practical research strategy.
Topics include: urban boundaries and social spaces; worlds, spaces, and borders – on the ambiguity of human-technology relations; community boundaries and the challenges of comparative European studies; epistemic boundaries within academia; studying transnationalism through theory and methodology – the transformative potential of social networks; and boundaries in critical art practices.
