I denne artikel skal vi dykke ned i den spændende verden af Saskia Sassen. Vi vil lære om dens historie, dens anvendelser og dens relevans i det moderne samfund. Saskia Sassen har været genstand for debat og undersøgelse gennem årene, og det er vigtigt at forstå dets indflydelse på forskellige områder, fra teknologi til kultur. Gennem denne artikel vil vi udforske de forskellige aspekter af Saskia Sassen og udrede dets kompleksitet for at give et komplet og indsigtsfuldt kig på dette fascinerende emne.
Efter en periode som postdoc ved Center for international Affairs ved Harvard University besad Sassen en række akademiske stillinger i og udenfor USA så som Ralph Lewis Professor i Sociologi ved University of Chicago. Hun er på nuværende tidspunkt en Robert S. Lynd professor i sociologi ved Columbia University og 'Centennial Visiting Professor' i statskundskab ved institut for sociology ved London School of Economics.
Sassen voksede op i Buenos Aires, Argentina, hvortil hendes forældre Willem Sassen og Miep van der Voort flyttede i 1950. Hendes far var en hollandsk nazi-kollaboratør, en nazi journalist og medlem af Waffen-SS. Saskia Sassen opholdte sig også i Italien i dele af hendes opvækst og hun siger selv hun er ‘opvokset med fem sprog’.[2]
