The term ‘border’ can mean different things in different contexts and can be given lots of attributions, whether political, social or moral. Borders could be seen as threatening, as a rejection, as a safety blanket etc. This episode is part of a mini series of episodes dealing with the subject of borders, especially state borders in Europe, their internalization and effect on different areas of society.

In the third episode, anthropologist and Gender Studies scholar Elissa Helms (Central European University) and historian Albert Manke (University of Göttingen) talk about the social dimension of borders.
