The Global Europeans site is for individuals, organizations and institutions with an interest in the interconnectedness of the private and professional lives of Europeans with the world at large.
As Europe increasingly produces some of the most competitive knowledge based economies of the world, we see a transformation in the way we work as technological advancement both permits us and forces us to change the manner in which we use time and space in our professional and personal lives. Europe and Europeans are also closer than ever before to territories and people around the globe, whether they are rich or poor; whether they share the same or different religious or political ideologies; whether they share similar or diverse cultural heritage and traditions; and to some extent, whether they choose to be or not. The site aims to facilitate research on this interconnectedness via two major avenues:
Global Europeans Research Project
This PhD research project looks into the lives of Europeans who travel for work purposes, or accompany their spouse, for a limited period of time to the emerging economies, India and China, focusing on issues relating to welfare and wellbeing.
Global Food and Thought
The blog platform aims to share thoughts and opinions on global and country-specific issues ... and recipes. Food plays a major role in the culture and tradition of all countries of the world, and as such seemed a fitting, light accompaniment to the heavier writing on current affairs, politics and society. Read more about the blog here, and click here to visit the site. Please do leave comments. If you would like to have your writing or recipes featured then just send me an email: nf@globaleuropeans.com.
