Global problems are not restrained by academic disciplines. SBIGS is our answer to that challenge; we are seeking new ways to

• bridge disciplinary boundaries with inter- and transdisciplinary research
• facilitate creative activities across departmental and divisional borders
• enhance global graduate and undergraduate education
• cooperate with sister institutes worldwide
• obtain funding from a variety of external sources
• provide local, national, and international consulting
• offer seminars, colloquia, lectures, workshops and conferences on global issues.

Modern knowledge societies adjust constantly. Research at SBIGS focuses on the social, cultural, political, and historical dimensions of societal change.
