- **Event Description**: This IASH roundtable brings together Eastern and Western conceptualisations of the role of cultural and epistemic borders.About this EventA panel with Sneha Roy, Elsie C. Albis and Paula Sledzinska, chaired by Hannah Halliwell. Exploring the need to decolonise national identity and belonging from postcolonial South Asian and Southeast Asian perspectives alongside Scottish and Irish constructions of national identities, this event brings together Eastern and Western conceptualisations of the role of cultural and epistemic borders. Thinking beyond physical boundaries between countries, in what ways do borderlands play a participatory role in enabling nationalism? From cultural modes such as music and theatre, to legacies of colonial negotiations like loyalties and memberships, how do borders shape people and how do people shape borders?This event is part of the Making A Nation series for 2025-26: https://www.iash.ed.ac.uk/news/making-nation-series-2026This is a free event, which means we overbook to allow for no-shows and to avoid empty seats.
