The Transnational Project http://transnationalism.uchicago.edu/index.html
University of Chicago, USA
Transnational flows of
capital, people, information and images are transforming our worlds;
they are also
challenging researchers to develop new theoretical and methodological
practices to study and account for them. The TransNationalism Project
takes on this challenge. An interdisciplinary research group of
faculty and students under the direction of Saskia
Sassen, Ralph
Lewis Professor of Sociology, the TNP aims to foster collaborative
and innovative research into these dynamics through the development
of new theoretical perspectives and methodological frameworks.
Toward this end, the TNP provides several forums -- workshops,
an annual conference, and informal discussion groups -- for junior
scholars studying transnational flows and processes.
The Transnationalism
Project's current research projects are the following:
- Global
Governance - The multiplication of cross-border governance
mechanisms: implications for democracy and global order, and
- Migration - The interdisciplinary study of international migration,
conducted in conjunction with the Human Rights Program
