Border Media Teach-In

Our panel interrogates how media on and about the US-MX border creates messages that shape our understanding of border security, immigration, and everyday life in the borderlands

Much of what the American public knows about the US-Mexico border is through the media, including news reporting, social media feeds, reality tv shows, movies, and video games. The border is also one of the most mediated spaces in the world, with its vast systems of surveillance executed by cameras, sensors, drones, and robot dogs. Join us for a “Border Media Teach-In” led by scholars whose research interrogates how contemporary media on and about the US-Mexico border creates powerful messages that shape our understanding of border security, immigration, and everyday life in the borderlands.
