Prof Juliet Fall, University of Geneva, discusses her new book Along the Line: Writing with Comics and Graphic Narrative in Geography (EPFL Press / University of Chicago Press, 2025) with Cormac Opdebeeck-Wilson and Roland Bleiker. 

This is a fascinating multi-genre and multi-method book that looks at the politics of borders during the COVID pandemic. The book mixes comics with visual autoethnography and scholarly discussions that range from geography and border politics to feminist theory, aesthetics, methodology and international relations.  For the French version, which is open access as is the English one, see here: Bornées: Une Histoire Illustrée de la Frontière (MétisPresses, 2024).
