TLSI 2016 Keynote Lecture: Professor Saskia Sassen

Holes in the Tissue of Law This lecture is based on the author’s forthcoming book Ungoverned Territories? (Harvard University Press 2017). Saskia Sassen is the Robert S. Lynd Professor of Sociology at Columbia University, and a member of The Committee on Global Thought, also at Columbia. Her research revolves around cities, immigration, and states in the world economy, with inequality, gendering and digitisation being three key variables running through her work.
