Founded in 2008, the Global Studies Research Network is devoted to mapping and interpreting past and emerging trends and patterns in globalization. We aim to traverse a broad terrain, sometimes technically and other times socially oriented, sometimes theoretical and other times practical in their perspective, and sometimes reflecting dispassionate analysis while at other times suggesting interested strategies for action. Our aim is to build an epistemic community where we can make linkages across disciplinary, geographic, and cultural boundaries.
The Fourteenth Global Studies Conference calls for research addressing the following annual themes and special focus:
Our mission is to provide a safe, sustainable, and accessible way for us to come together and interact as a Research Network.

The development team at the Common Ground Media Lab has been working tirelessly to create a next-generation web platform to support a robust online conference experience.
All presenters are given personal Presenter Pages: Linked to profile page on CGScholar, displaying abstract summary, thematic connection to panelists and peers, ability to add digital media: video, sound, other files.

We are working to change the way in which knowledge is produced, validated, and shared within member-based Research Networks.
The International Journal of Interdisciplinary Global Studies and Book Imprint offer pathways to transform your presentation into formal research objects. We also support a number of affordable Open Access pathways to allow maximum flexibility to support principles of open research, in a sustainable manner.
