About

Dr. S. A. Hamed Hosseini is a critical sociologist and social theorist whose research lies at the intersection of globalization, social movements, and transformative praxis. His work is particularly noted for advancing the concept of "transversalism"—a framework that bridges diverse struggles for social justice within the "globalization from below" movement. In his most cited paper, "Transversalism and Transformative Praxes: Globalization from Below" (2021, 5 citations), Hosseini challenges conventional understandings of social change by tracing the deep historical roots of the modern world system, arguing that contemporary grassroots movements must adopt transversal strategies to overcome fragmentation and build solidarity across difference. This contribution is pivotal for scholars studying alternative globalizations and the potential for systemic transformation. Hosseini’s work is characterized by its interdisciplinary rigor, drawing on world-systems analysis, critical theory, and movement studies. Though his citation count is still growing, his theoretical innovations have positioned him as an emerging voice in debates on how to enact meaningful change in an interconnected yet unequal world. For students and researchers, Hosseini offers a compelling lens through which to rethink resistance and collective agency.
