Because the TCA focuses on bringing together a number of disciplines, we are committed to building and maintaining relationships with leading faculty at institutions across the country and the world. As we focus on filling the void area of socio-cultural analysis of transnational complexities, we hope to foster omnidirectional communication, both as a focal point for information collection and distribution and as a crossroads where scholars may at once instruct and learn.
The TCA is administered by a Steering Committee of Yale-affiliated individuals (Biographies Soon):
- Kamari Clarke, Anthropology [Director]
- Hazel Carby, African American Studies
- Bernard Bate, Anthropology
- Jeff Alexander, Sociology
