Time and Change

Boundaries
Description: The study of time and change can be approached through examining a number of processes, such as collective memory, narratives, and identities, and the social shifts these phenomena bring about. The analytical lens of boundaries and boundary work offer a conceptual framework not only for the study of migrants and refugees but also any processes of delineating "us" and "them" or "sacred" and "profane".
