For Isaac Espósto, a 2023–2024 Interdisciplinary Doctoral Fellow at the Institute for Advanced Study, the borders and walls along the U.S. and Mexico represent far more than just territorial boundaries. Their research looks at how the very architecture and spatial design of the borderlands purposefully produce categories of race, gender, and citizenship status that enable violence and determine whose mobility is criminalized or allowed. 

Dr. Rachel Hardeman, former IAS Residential Faculty Fellow and founding director of the Center for Antiracism for Health Equity, has been named to the 2024 TIME100.
