Tim Cashman's new book promotes transborder dialogue and provides contexts for this from theoretical perspectives and anecdotal real world experiences. In a world where we need a stronger focus on operating in third spaces this provides some excellent guides and support for educators trying to do so. -- Ruth Reynolds, University of Newcastle, Australia Timothy G. Cashman's Promoting Border Dialogue During Times of Uncertainty: A Time for Third Spaces artfully weaves various disciplines in uplifting the timely revisiting of border studies. Through astute framing of such work and years of study, Cashman provides a compelling argument for critical border praxis. The depth and breadth of his ideas, the apt recognition of placed-based pedagogies and urgent need for third spaces are a refreshing read. The text spans geopolitical terrains truly practicing border crossings for greater educational/social good. Cashman's text is a must read for anyone committed to and working towards an entirely different kind of future. -- Leila E.
