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.

Call for Papers: Special Issue on Critical Cosmopolitanism - a South Asian Perspective

2026-04-07

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).
