A recording of “Crossing Borders: Exploring San Diego’s Dynamic Binational Region,” the fourth of five virtual Evenings of Nonconventional Wisdom events, in which we explore the myths and realities of our vibrant region.

UC San Diego exists on the edge: of a continent, of a country, and on the leading-edge of possibilities. It’s no surprise then that our students and scholars make a regular habit of breaking boundaries and pushing past borderlines. Located a short 30 miles from the U.S.-Mexico border, we have a front row seat to both the complex challenges facing border communities — as related to health, energy, environment and mobility — and an exciting array of opportunities.
