Global Think-ins

Global Think-in Rethinking Knowledge: Global Governance The Heyman Center for the Humanities, Columbia University October 8, 2014 “Rethinking Knowledge: Global Governance” addresses the past, present, and future of attempts to “govern the world” (Mark Mazower) from a variety of perspectives and at a number of scales. From taking stock of past and present efforts, to examining the assumptions built into the very premise, to speculating on the necessary reconfiguration of academic disciplines, this CGT Think-in aims at a free flowing exchange in which the contours of the problem are sketched and possible models are tested.
