Race and the Borderlands is a conference hosted by the Fred J. Hansen Peace Chair and the Center for Human Rights at SDSU that brings together scholars, practitioners, student organizations, and grassroots organizations from the San Diego and Tijuana regions to collectively consider issues of human rights and racialization in our borderlands. The conference will focus on the human tolls and triumphs that flow across this border every day. We will consider the hindrances and costs, the lives and human sacrifice, and the stories of hope and justice that intermingle in the liminal space of the borderlands. This binational conference will focus on scholarly collaboration, community building, and movement of ideas and people in the region. Keynote speakers are Nandita Sharma (9 A.M. in Conrad Prebys Union Theatre, April 7) and Roberto D. Hernández (5 P.M. AL 101, April 8)
