Global Re-Visions

This series aims to pursue the challenges that globalization poses, and the possibilities that it offers, in an interdisciplinary setting.

The series probes to what extent our vision of globalization both alters and is altered by the singularity and complexity of the topic at hand, compelling, in turn, perpetual re-visions.
