AnnaLee Saxenian
AnnaLee Saxenian has made a career of studying regional economies and the conditions under which people, ideas, and geographies combine and connect to hubs of economic activity. Her latest book, The New Argonauts: Regional Advantage in a Global Economy (Harvard University Press, 2006), explores how and why immigrant engineers from Silicon Valley are transferring their technology entrepreneurship to emerging regions in their home countries—China and India in particular—and launching companies far from established centers of skill and technology. The "brain drain" she argues, has now become "brain circulation"—a powerful economic force for the development of formerly peripheral regions that is sparking profound transformations in the global economy. She is currently Dean and Professor at the U.C. Berkeley School of Information, and she has a PhD from MIT and a BA from Willams College.
Guillermina Jasso
Guillermina Jasso (PhD, Johns Hopkins) is Professor of Sociology at New York University and Research Fellow, Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA), Bonn, Germany. Her major research interests are sociobehavioral theory, international migration, mathematical methods for theory building, and factorial survey methods for empirical analysis. Professor Jasso has proposed a new mathematical formula for describing the experience of injustice; a new unified theory that integrates justice, status, power, and identity; two new families of probability distributions; and a methodology for an empirically-based point system for the selection of immigrants. She was elected to the Johns Hopkins Society of Scholars and to the Sociological Research Association, was a Fellow at the Center for Advanced Study in the Behavioral Sciences, and is a Fellow at the Center for the Study of Poverty and Inequality at Stanford University.
