The objectives of this study include the proposal of a new transnational education model that promotes inclusive and sustainable internationalization opportunities,as well as the development of intercultural communication skills that facilitate transborder collaboration. The article presents qualitative results from a case study based on students’ experiences with binational courses that implemented the Virtual Model for Transborder Education(MVET, for its acronym in Spanish). The results confirmed that the participants developed knowledge and abilities that prepared them to be able to succeed in bicultural and binational environments. This study makes significant contributions to the fields of international education and virtual teaching as it provides a virtual exchange model that can easily be adjusted to professors’ areas of expertise,as well as students’ interests. Moreover, the model makes possible the implementation of academic collaborations in diverse institutional and geographicalcontexts.

This study on Latin American migration settled in the city of Tijuana, Mexico, aims to explore, describe and analyze the influenceof the border condition in the creation, development and persistence of an emerging ethnic entrepreneurship and its respective businesses of and for immigrants from the global peripheries. To this end an ethnographic research is proposedinfive observation units distributed in as various points of the border urban weave,belonging to gastronomic entrepreneurs from three national groups: Hondurans, Salvadorans,and Venezuelans. Participatory observation is carried out as a diner andseveral conversation techniques are implemented with the managers of these typical restaurants. Finally, through an interactive analysis,the presence of synergies between immigrant businesses and the border region is determined, which facilitate the existence of such businesses. The overall result is a first approach to the phenomenon, unpublished in previous studies in Mexico.

This article presents an approach to socio-territorial construction based on the conceptual overlap between context or natural environment, rootedness, and reproductive care. For this, exploratory and descriptive research is carried out that triangulated three qualitative research techniques using the deductive method. The main findings show that how a community in Guanajuato configures its roots in a territory is associated with the characteristics of its production-consumption process, anchored in the natural conditions of the territory and the social bonds of care that emanate from this process and conditions. One of the contributions of this analysis is that it incorporates the perspective of reproductive care into the construction of territories, being necessary to deepen regional studies to advance in this type of knowledge.

The objective of this paper is to verify if the urban population of the municipalities of the northern border of Mexico hashigher incomes than those of other municipalities in the country, while suffering worse living conditions; that is what someauthorshave called “border development paradox”. To verify this issue, proportions were compared based on multidimensional poverty data from Conevalfor the period2008-2020,and more municipalities and population were considered than in any previous research. The results show that urban residents of the northern border have higher incomes, but also better access to services and less social deprivation.These results—which contradictsome previous research,but confirm others—are maintained throughout the entireperiod analyzed and with different territorial groups. Therefore, it is concludedthat there is no evidence of said paradox.

Title 42 is an old U.S. health policy implemented in the service of immigration control in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. This article aims to discuss the argument about the logic behind the migratory containment strategies involved in this provision. From a documentary and bibliographic review of official data and testimonies of migrants expelled under this policy, the effects of this rule are reviewed, especially towards the populations seeking international protection, who were expelled to territories where their lives were in danger. Three ways of understanding are proposed to critically reflect on how a health policy has been implemented as a migratory restriction: the bionecropolitical governance of migrations, the global regime of security and health immunization, and the securitization of borders through constructing external threats.

The objective of this article is to analyze and describe the difficulties in compiling an inventory of urban parks carried out in the municipality of Hermosillo, Sonora. A mixed methodology was applied: a list was obtained from the Parks and Gardens Directorate (DPJ) with the parks served by this dependency. Each park was located and georeferenced by integrating a Geographic Information System for spatial analysis; and interviews were applied to key actors. The results show that there is no complete and exhaustive inventory of parks, whatever the conceptualization that is made of these, and that the DPJ list is due more to administrative and management needs. A limiting factor of this study was the lack of access to public information. It concludes by emphasizing that estimates of indicators based on this list should be taken with reservation in future research.

This article analyzes the spatial behavior of social and economic factors associated with car theft in Reynosa, Tamaulipas, Mexico. For this, the data of car theft reports issued (from January 2016 to December 2018) before the Attorney General’s Office of the state of Tamaulipas were analyzed. The information on the social and economic variables was obtained from the Census of Population and Housing 2020 at the level of basic geostatistical area and the National Statistical Directory of Economic Units. The methodology consisted of a negative binomial regression, a simple regression, and a geographically weighted regression, both Poisson types to incorporate the non-stationarity spatial component. The results indicate that restaurants and banks are crime-attracting nodes and that the variables of routine activities present heterogeneous spatial patterns depending on the area of the city where they are present.

This paper analyzes the interrelation between nocturnity, youths, and systemic violence. Based on the theory of conceived and inhabited space, ethnographic work, and on-site exploration, a reconstruction of urban imaginaries “of the border” and “of the night” is presented, as well as the narratives generated by Tijuana’s young residents. Thus, a distinction between the night (noctis) and nocturnity (noctem) is exposed, along with some key elements that make up the accessibility, experience, and participation of young people in Tijuana nights’ nocturnity in recreational, inequality, transgression, and violence contexts. The results allow us to perceive nocturnity as a socially constructed space, complex and dynamic, with diffuse and rigid borders, that needs a comprehensive public policy that seeks the inclusion of the youth and the progressive decrease of the inequalities that affect them.

The paper analyzes the population growth in Tijuana during the 1920s when the town had the highest growth rates in its history. We draw a demographic, territorial, and migratory profile using censuses and ecclesiastical sources, although both have limitations: the censuses, due to the changes in the municipal organization and the ecclesiastical because they do not cover the entire decade. However, both allow us to observe that this phenomenon was the result of migratory processes, explained by the border condition and Prohibition established in the United States. The census sources show that the phenomenon was not widespread along the border and that a working- age male population predominated in Tijuana’s service sector. The parish records show that the main places of origin of the migration to Tijuana were the entities of the Mexican Northwest and West.

The objective of this research is to analyze the effect of gender and ethnicity on the gender wage gap among farmworkers in the northwest region of Mexico, based on the 2020 census sample. By employing matching estimates and Inverse Probability Weighted Regression Adjustment (IPWRA) models, the effects on the mean and throughout the wage distribution of the sample are studied. It is observed that, in relation to gender and ethnicity, these are negative, especially when considered simultaneously, since among indigenous farmworkers, it is women who have the worst salaries. For women there are conditions of both a “sticky floor” and a “glass ceiling,” and for men only the second. The results indicate that part of this difference can be interpreted as a result of discrimination.
