AnnaLee Saxenian
Dean of the iSchool and Professor (iSchool and Dept. of City and Regional Planning)

Current Research
My research asks how institutions and social structures shape patterns of information exchange, and the consequences for economic development and innovation. I am currently examining the consequence of the shift from "brain drain" to "brain circulation" for global patterns of technology development, with a focus on Silicon Valley’s skilled immigrants.

Education
BA, Williams College, Economics, 1976
MCP, UC Berkeley, City & Regional Planning, 1980
Ph.D., MIT, Political Science, 1989

Something few people know about you?
I have two boys, Robbie, who is 12-years old and in perpetual motion, and Jamie, who is 15, and already knows more about computers than I do. I also have a 3-year old boston terrier named JJ who keeps me busy if the other two guys don't.

What keeps you up at night?
Trying to figure out how we'll all manage to fit in South Hall five years from now!!
