This year鈥檚 event is held at the 91滴滴 and is organised by Dr hab. Joanna Kruczkowska (Associate Professor at the 91滴滴) and Ross Cameron (University of Glasgow).
The Borders and Crossings conference series was first organised in Derry in 1998 by Glenn Hooper and Tim Youngs and has since taken place on a regular basis. Borders and Crossings has played a significant role in the development of travel writing studies as it provides a forum for scientists across various disciplines and from a wide variety of national contexts to meet regularly, explore an increasingly rich corpus of travel writing from across a wide range of periods, and debate its importance to the Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences.
