Associate professor of Regional and City Planning John Harris has been named co-editor of the new book series Borderless: Dedicated to Coalitional Politics, Interdisciplinarity, Community Building, Participatory Research, and Disruptive Thought.
The new series will be published by West Virginia University Press and seeks book-length manuscripts focused on finding interdisciplinary solutions to global injustice, connecting communities of resistance, and forming coalition and solidarity.
Borderless is committed to curating a series of innovative, experimental, interdisciplinary titles that center decoloniality and transborder solidarity, that bring to the forefront marginalized voices and knowledges, and that recognize borders as liminal spaces where transformation is possible.
