Transforms the study of borders into an immersive visual and intellectual experience, revealing how boundaries are drawn and lived.

Part travelogue, part scholarly inquiry, Along the Line reimagines the study of borders through the lens of lived experience and graphic storytelling. Beginning with the COVID-19 border closures of 2020, Juliet Fall embarks on a three-year journey tracing the boundary between France and Geneva, uncovering the deep historical and personal significance of these invisible lines. Through vivid sketches and a feminist political geography perspective, this work confronts conventional academic narratives and demonstrates how borders shape both landscapes and lives.

Through a blend of theory with immersive storytelling, Fall invites readers to slow down, observe, and rethink their understanding of space, mobility, and belonging. Along the Line is a groundbreaking contribution to border studies, political geography, and international relations, and also a powerful example of how creative and visual methods can transform academic research.

Reviews for Along the Line: Writing with Comics and Graphic Narrative in Geography

“Along The Line invites us to slow down and look closer. Like the author on her sojourns looking for 19th century border stones, I found myself peering (metaphorically and literally) at the various boundaries that composed our social life during Covid-19. Her sketches and feminist political geography theory equally illuminate a period we all lived through but have struggled to assimilate. What a gift.” * Professor Jason Dittmer * “Along the Line is an original and unique contribution to the fields of border studies, political geography, international relations. Further, it is an exemplary account of how to integrate visual and creative methods not only for science communication but as a fundamental approach to rethinking academic research and writing"" * Professor Carolin Schurr *
