The New Press: Globalization and Its Discontents Saskia Sassen is an internationally recognized expert on globalization whose writings have appeared in journals and magazines worldwide. Now available in paperback, Globalization and Its Discontents is a collection of Sassen's essays dealing with topics such as the "global city," gender and migration (reconceived as the globalization of labor), information technology, and the new dynamics of inequality. Sassen brings together cultural and literary studies, feminist theory, political economics, sociology, and political science, showing how vast the chasm between metropolitan business  centers and low-income inner cities has become. Incisive and original, she takes on common political, cultural, and economic misconceptions of globalization and offers a thoughtful, provocative new look at our increasingly global society.

MOST Theme 1 - Multi-cultural and Multi-ethnic Societies Ethnic and cultural diversity is a fact which can and should enrich social life in all parts of the world. One focus of research under MOST is on the nature of change in multi-cultural and multi-ethnic societies in which issues of education, culture and religion, identity and human needs, democratic governance, conflict and cohesion interact in complex patterns. These issues require interdisciplinary, comparative, and culturally sensitive research which may furnish information useful for the peaceful and democratic management of multi-cultural and multi-ethnic societies. This research should help design policies that contribute to the goals of achieving equality of citizenship rights between ethnic groups and the avoidance and solution of ethnic conflict.

Regional_Worlds Regional Worlds is in part a direct response to the call from scholars, funders and policymakers for the development of new ways of teaching about global histories, cultures and societies in the aftermath of the Cold War. The program builds on the outstanding existing resources in international studies at the University of Chicago and has several innovative features. First, it is both interregional and interdisciplinary--faculty and students from a range of departments and areal affiliations participate. Second, it focuses on teaching--Regional Worlds is working to create new curricular materials and classroom procedures for ost-secondary area studies teaching. Third, faculty from colleges in the region are directly involved in the program's year-long activities.
