Alan Bersin, Asst Secretary for Intl Affairs and Chief Diplomatic Officer, US Dept of Homeland Security will be presenting his work on "Lines and Borders:  The Beginning and End of Borders,” which traces the post-9/11 shift in viewing borders not only as lines but as movements – flows of people and goods on a global scale both legally and illegally – and explores the domestic, international, and intermestic effects of security and economic developments over the next decades.

The presentation will be followed by a panel discussion moderated by Maria Echaveste.
