  We survey some results in the field of equivariant cobordism. In particular,
we use methods from equivariant stable homotopy theory to calculate the
unoriented $C_2$-equivariant bordism ring $\Omega^{C_2}_*$, which was
originally calculated by Alexander using other methods. Our proof method
generalizes well to other settings, such as equivariant complex cobordism, and
affords a formal group theoretic interpretation of Alexander's calculation.
