Our Mission
We leverage the power of transnational connections to build communities that support the advancement of new generations of scholars working across borders.
Scholars Across Borders
We are a grassroots movement of scholars working across borders. Each letter of our name describes the values and commitments of the people who join our network: scholars who care about research for social impact, transnationally networked leaders, academically-driven educators, and researchers with ethics and integrity.
Our Approach

Grasping the deep challenges, injustices, and unsustainability of current systems in order to imagine alternative futures and create a more humane world.
Distributed Leadership
Empowering leaders of all kinds to drive the activities of the network, including organizing new initiatives, spreading our message, and shaping our vision.
Open Access
Pioneering open access resources that empower members to leverage the power of networks to build their skills, knowledge, and expertise.
Continuous Learning
Engaging in continuous learning with our members to understand the trends, resources, and needs of the entire network and their communities.
