Walls, Laws and Migrations – Past and Present

The history and politics of walls can be traced back to the ancient world but walls and divisions are still with us today: the Roman Limes, the Great Wall of China, the Iron Curtain, the Berlin wall, the Mexican Wall on the US-American border.

The aim of this webinar is to outline interpretative frameworks for the understanding of how tools of division such as walls are built and kept in place. This webinar will discuss selected cases of past and present long lasting walls/divisions in a long-term multidisciplinary perspective thanks to the participation of leading scholars in different fields of studies.
