The border is zone of interaction where two countries come together, intersect, butt up against or bleed into each other--whether in an easy blend or a contentious edginess. Social/geographical "border" spaces like this can readily be found throughout metropolitan Phoenix.

Students took a quick fieldtrip to one such border in the city, immersed themselves there, and briefly reported their observations on the impact of migrants in the city in light of what they've learned about migration.
