The School of Transborder Studies hosts, co-hosts, sponsors, and promotes various events that reflect the research of our faculty and students, as well as initiatives that align with our school's mission. 

Since its inception, Arizona State University's School of Transborder Studies has dedicated itself to the understanding of borders and their implications for culture, identity, politics, ecology, health, demography, and social change and prosperity. Our academic work has been guided by the firm principle that teaching, creative work, and research are inherently linked to social demands for rigorous and unprejudiced scholarship of border realities, so we can respond with knowledge and ideas that fit societal needs and expectations.
