Social Science Research Council

On September 11, 2004, the Social Science Research Council gathered seven social scientists from a range of disciplines for a planning meeting on Youth and Transnational Activism. The group explored the key conceptual and empirical questions related to youth, transnationalism, and activism and discussed developing a relevant research agenda on the topic. Part of the larger SSRC Collaborative Research Network on Youth and Globalization, the meeting served as a catalyst for potential projects in this specific area of focus. Working group participants remain involved in offering their knowledge and ideas to the evolving SSRC Youth and Activism program. Other social scientists, including Doug McAdam, Director of the Center for Advanced Studies in the Behavioral Sciences and an SSRC board member, have also been involved in developing the agenda and building bases for institutional partnerships.
