How are heterogeneous processes of "globalization" changing the ways in
which we see ourselves and others? How are they affecting the ways in
which we structure and restructure our disciplines, practices, politics,
and discourses? What tensions arise  between meta-narratives of
globalization and located, situated knowledges? What are the real and
material consequences of transnational and transcultural events? How
might theory translate into social change in formations of new world (dis)orders?
