You could always make one up - everyone else does. "Vexillology" is a
mixture of Latin and Greek, which some folk disapprove of. But by
analogy you could deploy the Latin "confinium" (a common boundary) and
call yourself a "confiniologist". Admittedly, this does sound like it
might be the opposite of "escapologist" ...
