The term "globalizing knowledge" is today a popular catchphrase among academics and their circles. The complications and consequences of this desire for greater worldliness, however, are rarely considered critically, particularly among those who champion the idea of area studies. This workshop will use chapters 1, 3, 4 and 5 of Professor Michael Kennedy's Globalizing Knowledge: Intellectuals, Universities, and Publics in Transformation (Stanford University Press) to look at questions, approaches and case studies to clarify intellectuals' and institutions' responsibilities in a world defined by transformation and crisis.
