The members of the Workshop on the Sociology and Cultures of Globalization have organized the Fifth Annual Globalization Conference. We, along with our faculty co-sponsors, Profs. Saskia Sassen and Terry Clark, would like to invite the university community to our upcoming events. This conference, now in its fifth year, is is an ongoing activity with the Transnationalism Project aimed at fostering a network of scholars who are grappling with the various challenges transnational processes present to the study of globalization. The focus this year is on developing papers by advanced graduate students in the Sociology and Cultures of Globalization Workshop for inclusion in an edited volume on transnational processes and globalization.
