About Borderlands

Borderlands was begun at El Paso Community College in the early 1980s as a grant project. It is now one of the two publications of the English Discipline and appears as a newspaper insert in a Sunday edition of the El Paso [Texas] Times every spring or summer. 

Every year, students in English 1302 classes (Research and Critical Writing, the second college writing core class) research and write on topics of importance to the Texas-New Mexico-Mexico border, a unique place geographically and culturally. 

Every year Borderlands features a theme, either a decade or another time frame, or a subject topic.  read more...

Borderlands is published annually by El Paso Community College, P.O. Box 20500, El Paso, TX 79998.

It is a collection of student written articles on the history and culture of the El Paso, Juárez, Las Cruces border region, comprising the states of Texas, New Mexico, and the Mexican state of Chihuahua.   This site was created with seed money from the Integrating Technical Contexts into Academic Courses (ITAC) Project, and maintained by the Northwest Community Library staff.  Funds for the program were provided by the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board under the auspices of the federal Carl D. Perkins Vocational and Technical Education Act of 1998.
