The Transformative Studies Institute (TSI) is an independent 501(c)(3) nonprofit educational think tank based in the United States.〔(GuideStar ). GuideStar. Retrieved on January 17, 2012.〕 It “was created to provide an inclusive educational space for research and practice for social justice by academics, community organizers, activists, and political leaders”.〔(About TSI ). Transformativestudies.org. Retrieved on January 17, 2012.〕 TSI is managed and operated by fully volunteer academics, activists, and the concerned public.〔 It has been noted by Korgen, Kathleen et al. in ''Sociologists in Action'' (2010) as a model for engaging college students with public sociology and increased civic engagement.〔 Kathleen Odell Korgen, Jonathan M. White, and Shelley K. White, ''Sociologists in Action'', Pine Forge Press, 2010.〕 ==History== The Transformative Studies Institute was established in 2007 by Dr. John Asimakopoulos and Dr. Ali Zaidi, who had been fired from the Bronx campus of the City University of New York.〔Steven Best and others, ''Academic Repression: Reflections from the Academic Industrial Complex'', Oakland: AK Press, 2009.〕 Dr. Asimakopoulos describes the birth of TSI: ''Once I gathered myself I decided to fight back in a meaningful way. As I explained to my poor parents, the problem was not this or some other employer, but the system itself, which permitted and encouraged these unethical preindustrial labor practices to occur. Academe was the guilty one, not CUNY, which was a specific instance of a general institution flawed to its core''.〔Steven Best and others, ''Academic Repression: Reflections from the Academic Industrial Complex'', Oakland: AK Press, 2009. pp. 506〕 Dr. Asimakopoulos took his case to arbitration winning a rare victory in 2008.〔Sims, David. (September 19, 2008) (The Chief ). Thechiefleader.com. Retrieved on January 17, 2012.〕 He subsequently obtained tenure and promotion to Associate Professor of Sociology with CUNY-Bronx. Dr. Ali Zaidi due to lack of funds for a private attorney and pressured by his own union accepted a settlement and moved on to the State University of New York-Canton.〔 Both continue to operate TSI together with an international team of scholar-activists.
