• Sexual orientation and identity, the last frontier in the human rights discourse
• The electronic frontier
• Redefining nationalism
• Globalization, region and nation
• Diasporic identities
• Migration and shifting borders
• Life writing and a sense of place
• Cultural, ethnic, and religious frontiers
