Along the way, we have become an important venue for book reviews of new works that describe the challenges facing vulnerable migrants as they seek protection across borders of all kinds, including geographical boundaries, the regions that exist between mental states, and the disciplinary boundaries that sometimes impede the transmission of useful knowledge. <em>AmeriQuests<\/em>&nbsp;has also broadened its author base, and for this issue, we are featuring for the first time ever a collection of works written by advanced-level students. The quality of their work attests to the great potential of each of them, and speaks to the power of work being done by young authors.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/ameriquests.org\/index.php\/ameriquests\/issue\/view\/224\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Click here to view the new issue of AmeriQuests<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"240\" height=\"40\" src=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/law\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/110\/Ameriquests-240x40.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-23433\" srcset=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/law\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/110\/Ameriquests-240x40.jpg 240w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/law\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/110\/Ameriquests-160x27.jpg 160w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/law\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/110\/Ameriquests-400x67.jpg 400w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/law\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/110\/Ameriquests-360x60.jpg 360w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/law\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/110\/Ameriquests.jpg 637w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 240px) 100vw, 240px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>AMERIQUESTS: Narrative, Law and Society was founded by Robert Barsky to contribute in original and creative fashions to the law, the humanities and the social sciences in ways that promote social justice and humanistic studies.
