Les mer A Journey Across Borders

This is the tale of my 6-month journey across 26 borders in Europe in early 2017, to discover how borders evolve, what they mean and how they impact people’s lives. Written in summer 2017, while living outside the UK.

episode Trip no.8: Illicit Trade in the Netherlands 🇵🇱 🇳🇱 🇬🇧 cover

Trip no.8: Illicit Trade in the Netherlands 🇵🇱 🇳🇱 🇬🇧

In trip no.8 I organise a summer school in the Netherlands on the topic of illicit trade, visiting Rotterdam Port and learning from Interpol staff. I discuss how a transnational response is needed to track down and tackle the illicit traders, and I also look at the cost in time and money to the UK of new trade tariffs and customs checks if there is a hard border with the EU. Written in summer 2017, while living outside the UK.

episode Trip no.7: An Erasmus Mundus student's week in Krakow 🇬🇧 🇵🇱 cover

Trip no.7: An Erasmus Mundus student's week in Krakow 🇬🇧 🇵🇱

In trip no.7 I attend a week-long conference in Krakow as part of my Master's. I look at the terrible history of the Holocaust in Krakow and the role of brick walls in the Jewish Quarter and barbed wire fences in nearby Auschwitz. I discuss the concept of Othering and the way that language can influence people's worldviews. Written in summer 2017, while living outside the UK.

episode Trip no.6: Attempting to summit Mont Blanc 🇬🇧 🇨🇭 🇫🇷 🇮🇹 cover

Trip no.6: Attempting to summit Mont Blanc 🇬🇧 🇨🇭 🇫🇷 🇮🇹

In trip no.6 I travel to the French and Italian Alps and try to summit the highest peak in the EU. From over 4,000m I reflect on how physical borders like mountain ranges and seas (like the English channel) impact the people and communities living near those borders, and the impact of de-bordering and re-bordering when significant infrastructure, like tunnels or walls, are built.  Written in summer 2017, while living outside the UK.

episode Trip no.5: A Scandinavian road trip to the Norwegian fjords 🇸🇪 🇳🇴 cover

Trip no.5: A Scandinavian road trip to the Norwegian fjords 🇸🇪 🇳🇴

In trip no.5 I take a road trip from Sweden to the Norwegian fjords. I compare the Nordic Passport Union to the UK-Ireland Common Travel Area, and discover how the hi-tech external EU border between Sweden and Norway works in practice, between two countries that are so close historically, economically and linguistically - much like the UK and Ireland. Written in summer 2017, while living outside the UK.

Liker at det er både Podcaster (godt utvalg) og lydbøker i samme app, pluss at man kan holde Podcaster og lydbøker atskilt i biblioteket.
Bra app. Oversiktlig og ryddig. MYE bra innhold⭐️⭐️⭐️
