Saskia Sassen, Hollandalı bir ailenin kızıdır. Bir Nazi gazetecisi olan babası Willem Sassen, Nazi rejiminin Hollanda'daki işbirlikçilerindendir ve Holokost'un mimarlarından olan Nazi Almanyası subaylarından Adolf Eichmann ile yaptığı röportaj ile bilinmektedir (1960). Saskia Sassen küşük yaşlarda iken ailesi, Nazi Almanyası'nın sonu ile birlikte Buenos Aires, Arjantin'e göç etmiştir. Sassen, Arjantin'de büyümüştür. Daha sonra ise gençlik yıllarının bir kısmını İtalya'da geçirmiş ve çok kültürlü ve çok dilli bir ortamda yetişmiştir.

1966'dan itibaren Université de Poitiers, Fransa; the Università degli Studi di Roma, Roma ve the Universidad de Buenos Aires, Buenos Aires'te birer yıl geçiren Sasen felsefe ve politik bilimler alanında eğitim görmüştür. 1969'dan sonra Sassen, Notre Dame Üniversitesi'nde sosyoloji eğitimi almıştır.1971-1974 yılları arasında Indiana'da sırasıyla M.A. ve Ph.D. dereceleri elde etmiştir. Bunlara ek olarak 1974'te Poitiers'te felsefe dalında Fransızca master derecesi elde etmiştir.

Bilimsel bakış açısı

İşgücü ve sermayenin hareketliliğine ilişkin olarak Sassen, insan göçü üzerinde durmaktadır. Onun bakış açısının merkezinde işgücünün yeniden düzenlenmesinde ona şekil veren kapitalizasyon sürecinin aksaklıkları vardır. Diğer bir deyişle kapitalist ortalıkların bu kompozisyonu sağlamadaki yetersizliklerinden hareket etmektedir. Bu yetersizlikler insana dair göç olgusunu tetiklemektedir. Küreselleşme ve kapitalizasyon süreci ile etkileşim halindeki işgücü göçününün merkezden çevreye dağılımı demektir. Toplum bilimi ve kent bilimi anlamında bu etkileşimin olumsuz yönleri üzerinde durmaktadır.

The horrors of wars and deaths far away in the global south do not register. But missile shields cannot protect us. Powerful states cannot fully escape bricolage terrorism, nail bombs, elementary nuclear devices, and homemade biological weapons.

"The attacks are a language of last resort: the oppressed and persecuted have used many languages to reach us so far, but we seem unable to translate the meaning. So a few have taken the personal responsibility to speak in a language that needs no translation.
