The study of travel writing allows for a vast diversity of approaches and angles, taking in both the deep past, and the pressing contemporary issues of movement, (im)mobility, borders and their crossings. Borders and Crossings 2019 aims to attract researchers, creative practitioners, travellers and readers, from the broadest possible range of disciplines.
The eleventh edition will be held online on 22 and 23 September 2025, hosted by the University of Enna «Kore», and in person from 24 to 26 September 2025 at the University of Palermo.
