The processes of globalization and economic development influence a variety of political, economic, environmental, and social outcomes in the world today. Understanding these processes is a first step toward shaping such outcomes. This interdisciplinary research seminar provides a forum for scholars to share their research with colleagues and students across a range of departments at the College. Most of the presentations to this seminar will be works in progress, where researchers are seeking feedback from seminar participants. However, we will occasionally invite visiting scholars or policy makers to share their research and experiences with the seminar.
