Dr. Sassen: Saskia Writing

Your goal this week is to learn more global cities through an in-depth investigation into the work of Saskia Sassen.



1) Go to the Saskia Sassen website and explore - http://www(dot)saskiasassen(dot)com



2) Read the following article written by Dr. Sassen - Saskia writing.pdf



3) Watch an interview or TED talk given by Dr. Sassen (pick something from the attached list) - Saskia list.docx



Then, write one good question that you'd like to ask Dr. Sassen. Finally, write paragraph explaining why this question is important and what insight you hope to gain from the question.



Your primary post will be a little shorter than usual - 150-200 words or so should be fine. I'm looking for insight into Dr. Sassen's work, thoughtfulness, and intellectual curiosity.
