Reimagining Cosmopolitanism

What does it mean to be a “citizen” of the world today? Cosmopolitanism is among the issues that, while never going away entirely, seem to resurface periodically with a difference—with renewed urgency, novel ramifications, and new challenges. This conference, jointly organized by and the , brings together contributors to the forthcoming Oxford Handbook of Cosmopolitanism and marks the culmination of the Reimagining Cosmopolitanism project, which set out to undertake a fruitful rethinking of the concept for our times.
