Publications

Scholarly publications highlights the work produced by the TBDH team, which includes principal investigators, student fellows, and collaborators. These publications demonstrate our collective commitment to advancing research that centers borderlands knowledge, challenges colonial frameworks, and actively engages with digital methods and public humanities.

Publications include peer-reviewed journal articles, book chapters, collaborative essays, project reports, and experimental digital scholarship. Collectively, they explore a range of themes, such as migration, language justice, memory, resistance, and community archives, through the lens of transborder experience and critical digital inquiry.

The publications are grounded in interdisciplinary and community-based approaches, aiming to foster dialogue across academic, activist, and cultural spaces.

We invite you to explore this growing body of work and engage with the ideas and practices shaping transborder digital humanities. When referencing or teaching these materials, please cite the authors and TBDH appropriately to support ethical scholarly exchange and acknowledge the collaborative labor behind this work.
