What's On The Other Side? What A World Without Walls Would Look Like

As the Department of Homeland Security collects plans for the US-Mexico border, the conversation is turning more towards how border walls don't work in keeping people out.

This hour, we talk about what walls are effective in dividing: our psyches, our environments, and the populations around them.

GUESTS:

  • Sergio Avila - Conservation research scientist with the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum
  • Garrett Carr - Author of The Rule of the Land: Walking Ireland's Border
  • Michelle Stein - Co-designer of Inflato Border, an inflatable, adaptable construct that encourages flexible shared spaces at the US-Mexico Border

Join the conversation on Facebook and Twitter.

Colin McEnroe and Chion Wolf contributed to this show, which originally aired on April 12, 2017.

Jonathan is a producer for ‘The Colin McEnroe Show.’ His work has been heard nationally on NPR and locally on Connecticut Public’s talk shows and news magazines. He’s as likely to host a podcast on minor league baseball as he is to cover a presidential debate almost by accident. Jonathan can be reached at jmcnicol@ctpublic.org.
