U.S.-Mexico border

Mason President Gregory Washington hosts a new YouTube series titled “Our Future, Transformed: Mason Spotlights the World’s Grand Challenges.” The series will feature faculty experts speaking about the key issues, implications, and solutions facing some of the most debated and significant topics of the day, including water policies in the West, police reform, problems at our Southern border, and getting more women into STEM fields.

In this episode of the web series Our Future, Transformed Schar School of Policy and Government’s Guadalupe Correa-Cabrera describes a Southern border about which you might not have heard — one that plays against stereotypes of drugs, violence, and undocumented immigration, and where "borderlanders" are creating their own culture.
