> This conference seeks to draw papers from multiple disciplinary backgrounds on the relationship between citizenship, identity and tolerance in the context of contemporary globalization. Across the social sciences today there is much talk of the rise of postnationalism, the return of religion, the global integration of markets, and the various forms of social-epistemology with which these are associated. What potential do we see in these developments for the recovery of a robust and fair regime of world citizenship? We invite papers on the following three aspects of contemporary ?citizenship talk?: the place of the citizen in political community today; the transformation of citizenship and wrought by modern demands for legal, political, and social rights; and the question of whether or not the nation-state should remain the primary vessel of citizenship in an era demanding transnational or even global solidarity. Other topics for consideration might also include the critical ! > assessment of how we decide who is to be considered a global citizen, and the terms of this accommodation once it is established.
>
