Conversations Across Borders: A Workshop in Transnational Studies

Date and Time

“Global Social Protections? Setting a Research Agenda”

A brainstorming session sponsored by the Transnational Studies Initiative about how we might conduct research or synthesize existing work on the issue of "Global Social Protections." We anticipate focusing next year’s workshop around this broad theme, with the possible goal of producing a conference or edited volume at the year’s end. We invite TSI participants to bring your ideas, questions, and concerns to what we hope will be a very stimulating conversation.
