SUMMARY:Barbarians\, the Baltic\, and Beyond: A Comparative Borderlands Conference
DESCRIPTION:Traditional research on borders and frontiers has typically emphasized the divisive influence of “hard” boundaries imposed by geography\, politics\, and economics.  This conference seeks to widen the narrow conceptions of space underlying traditional work on borders by focusing on borderlands and frontier zones\, spaces of interaction between different cultural groups.  The conference pays particular attention to the experiences of people who live and act in borderland societies. The participants in this conference study a diverse range of periods and places\, but all share a common interest in the mechanics of borderlands interactions and the shaping of borderlands identities.  Our goal is to foster comparative discussion that crosses academic dividing lines\, in hopes of inspiring further research and cooperation.\n	This conference is sponsored by the Ancient Borderlands Research Focus Group (UC Santa Barbara) and the Baltic Borderlands International Research Training Group (University of Greifswald\, Germany)\, in cooperation with the Ancient Mediterreanean Studies Program\, the Department of History\, and the Interdisciplinary Humanities Center. \n	Funding for this conference has been provided by the UCSB Interdisciplinary Humanities Center and the UCSB College of Letters & Science.  Additional support was provided by the UC Multi-Campus Research Group in Late Antiquity. \nOPENING REMARKS: 9:00-9:10am\nJohn W.I.
