Research program on globalisation:

"Transnational flows of concepts and substances" is a 4-year research program that runs from 2001 through 2004, and at the Department of Social Anthropoloy, University of Oslo. The research program is funded by the Norwegian Research Council, and is part of a large funding program for studies on globalisation and internationalisation within the humanistic and social sciences.

The research program involves seven core members of staff and 14 graduate students. Each participant in the program contributes with individual research projects that are grounded in the ethnography of transnational interconnectedness. The aim of this cooperative effort has been to connect theoretical contributions from anthropology to the broader debates on globalisation through comparisons. Overlapping concerns focus upon the flow of capital, objects, persons, and ideas. For details, see program abstract.

Joint publications comprise three edited volumes, one of which was published in 2003 (Globalisation, Studies in Anthrology), one that is due in January 2005, and a third which is currently under preparation. Individual publications include numerous books, articles and book chapters.  For details, see publications.
