About this Event

Join co-hosts Anna Triandafyllidou (Ryerson University) and Tariq Modood (University of Bristol) for a workshop exploring the potential for new forms of nationalism.

We are witnessing today the emergence and growth of different forms of nationalisms, conceptually and politically. While some privilege a closed society and nativism, others seek to embrace diversity. This workshop builds on the relevant literature by political theorists, political scientists and sociologists to discuss whether multiculturalism is compatible with nationalism and whether there are feasible forms of ‘progressive patriotism’ today, which would re-define liberal nationalism in more inclusive ways.

In our workshop, we will ask what normative shape can such an inclusive perspective take, whether it can be a political force, and if so, how? This means addressing the place of ethnic and religious minorities as well as majorities so that both can identify with the national. Is that a realistic political ideal and how does it relate to theories of ethnicity, race, citizenship and nationalism? The workshop engages with insights from Europe, North America and other world regions.
