We so often have to be mindful of Schengen rules so I thought you might be interested in this webinar on the 13th.

“Europe without Borders: A History”
Join Isaac Stanley-Becker (Washington Post) and Emily Marker (Rutgers Univ., Camden) for a discussion of Dr. Stanley-Becker’s book, Europe without Borders: A History. Stanley-Becker examines the creation of the Schengen area, a landmark in European history enabling free movement of people, goods, and capital. Established in 1985, Schengen advanced transnational citizenship and free-market ideals while excluding non-Europeans, particularly migrants from former colonies. Drawing on newly accessible archives, he explores tensions between humanist and market principles in Schengen's framework, with its vision of free movement hedged by alarm about foreign migrants and undocumented migrants contesting its promises.
