"Cosmopolitanism and World Citizenship"International Conference16 May 2020 – London, UKorganised by London Centre for Interdisciplinary Research“I am a citizen of the cosmos” Cynic Diogenes replied in the fourth century BCE when he was asked about his origins. What does it mean to be a global citizen today? Highly complex, multilayered and always contemporary, the concept of cosmopolitanism offers fertile ground and uncharted waters for scholarly interpretations. For millennia, philosophers have theorized on the meaning of global citizenship in an effort to identify who are the “kosmopolites”, the real citizens of “the Small World, the Great” in the words of Nobel laureate Odysseus Elytis.The London Centre for Interdisciplinary Research, pluralistic and multicultural itself, wishes to explore this journey of global citizenship over the centuries and identify its past, understand its present and theorize about its future. The roots, developments and faces of global citizenship, its transformation and the identity of citizens in a globalized world will be explored in an effort to understand the challenges we face. Who are cosmopolitans? What are their roles in and contributions to our multicultural global society? What is the role of national citizenship and what are the political and institutional implications? Can cosmopolitanism offer solutions to this challenging and highly controversial era? What are the cultural, social, economic, political and personal dimensions and to what extent can they affect our reality? Are the notions of global citizenship problematic or might cosmopolitanism offer solutions to global problems?Our conference wishes to bring together scholars from various disciplines such as history, philosophy, literature, linguistics, theology, political and social sciences in order to explore the wide spectrum of global citizenship.Multiculturalism, cultural diversity and awarenessSocial and individual multiculturalismCultural pluralism and democratic valuesThe politics of multiculturalismMulticulturalism in literature and artComparative multiculturalismsPsychology of multiculturalismMulticulturalism and cosmopolitanismMulticulturalism in educationMulticulturalism, immigration and integrationReflections of multiculturalism in the mediaMulticultural rights, freedoms and pressuresSocial justice and multiculturalismMulticulturalism, religion and secularismNational and regional multiculturalismMulticulturalism and conflict resolutionEuropean and American multiculturalismMulticulturalism between philosophy and realityThe history and future of multiculturalismThe multiplicities and limits of multiculturalismSubmissions may propose various formats, including:All paper submissions and conference activities must be in English.
