About
What we do
The Transborder Policy Lab (TransborderLab) is a collaborative, interdisciplinary, and policy-oriented research network dedicated to the study of borders and transborder communities. While the primary focus of the TransborderLab is the Arizona-Sonora border region, its scope involves comparative research with other border spaces and experiences in the world.
We work to improve our approaches, conceptualizations, methodologies, and knowledge exchange through open, participatory, and strategic engagement with border communities.
