The Transnational Studies Initiative explores the forms
and consequences of transnationalism from a variety of analytical,
normative, and practical perspectives. Our goal is
to compare social dynamics
and relations that cross borders and boundaries and to think through
their consequences for theory and practice. Our long term objective
is to build a field of transnational
studies that links scholarship and practice across a range
of disciplines and fields.
The initiative is directed by Sanjeev Khagram, an Associate Professor of Public Affairs and International Studies, as well as Director of the Mark Lindenberg Center for Humanitarian Action, International Development and Global Citizenship at the University of Washington and Senior Advisor to the Tutu Peace Center, and Peggy Levitt, an Associate Professor of Sociology at Wellesley College and a Research Fellow at both the Weatherhead Center for International Affairs and the Hauser Center for Nonprofit Organizations at Harvard University.
The initiative was established with the generous support of the Hauser Center for Non-Profit Organizations at Harvard University and Atlantic Philanthropies. The initiative will be based at Harvard University's Weatherhead Center for Government and International Affairs and the University of Washington's Lindenberg Center for Humanitarian Action, International Development and Global Citizenship.
