Call for Papers - Indigenous Knowledges and Cosmopolitanism
This special issue of Cosmopolitan Civil Societies takes up this challenge. Its focus is on indigenous knowledges, as they are understood in their own societies and as they are represented in the majority culture. It considers government policies and local efforts to share the knowledge of First Nations people in the context of civil society; it explores the implementation of indigenous law and justice; it examines the ways in which indigenous culture and art are shared in a society; it investigates how indigenous documents and artefacts become part of a national heritage; and it documents efforts to maintain and expand the use of indigenous languages.
The deadline for submission is 30 January 2025.

In this proposed special issue/ volume, we would explore the notion of critical cosmopolitanism which either challenges and/or addresses the normative discourses of cosmopolitanism rooted within the western philosophical thoughts. The volume will primarily address the question how do we articulate the notion of critical cosmopolitanism in a changing global world from the perspective of scholars from South Asia. Critical cosmopolitanism in the contemporary scenario refers to “cosmopolitanism from below” (Ingram, 2016; Kurasawa, 2004; Neilson, 1999), a term currently being used within a post-global context to interrogate the nexus between the local and global (Delanty, 2012).
