Posteriormente prosseguiu os estudos na Universidade de Roma "La Sapienza". Retornou a Buenos Aires para graduar-se em Filosofia e Ciência Política pela Universidade de Buenos Aires. A partir de 1969, transferiu-se para Indiana, para estudar sociologia e economia na Universidade de Notre Dame, onde concluiu seu mestrado, em 1971, e o doutorado, em 1974. Realizou pesquisa de pós-doutorado no Centro de Estudos Internacionais da Universidade Harvard. Atualmente é profesora de Sociología da cátedra Robert S.

Sassen está atualmente casada com o sociólogo Richard Sennett.

Em seu artigo "The Global City: Introducing a Concept",^[1] Sassen lembra que a ideia de cidade mundial aparece em Goethe (Weltstadt),^[8][9] tendo sido relançada e desenvolvida por Peter Hall, na formulação do conceito de world city,^[10] posteriormente refinado por John Friedmann e Wolff Goetz.^[11] Ela também reconhece ter desenvolvido o seu conceito de cidade global, apresentado em The Global City (1991),^[12] a partir das noções de cidade mundial, de Hall, ^[13] Friedman e Wolff Goetz,^[14][11] bem como da ville-monde, de Braudel,^[15] e da cidade informacional, de Castells,^[16][17] aportando os desenvolvimentos teóricos posteriores acerca do processo de globalização e da sua expressão nas cidades.
