The Committee on Global Thought is an interdisciplinary initiative dedicated to developing the necessary concepts and methodologies to interpret globality and globalization. This fifth annual conference on cities and modern urban realities will bring together scholars and practitioners whose work addresses the dynamics of urban life, particularly on the subject of mobilities, including visible mobilities like cars, bikes, walking and crowds, as well as invisible ones like digital networks.

Mobilities in Cities is hosted by Saskia Sassen, Co-chair of the Committee on Global Thought. Her most recent book, Expulsions: Brutality and Complexity in the Global Economy, will be published by Harvard University Press in May 2014. To learn more about this event click here.
