2 Cosmopolitanism, Multiculturalism and Conviviality have become key conceptual frames that many of us reach for when researching experiences of migration and diversity. What are some of the contextual and temporal conditions that have led to the emergence of these concepts in particular places? What is the character of their multi-sited-ness? How do these concepts (as well as others such as superdiversity, transnationalism, racism and xenophobia) create affinities or homogenise across spatio-temporal contexts? In the use of such frames, are hegemonic cultural ontologies reified and/or transgressed? How do shared conceptual frameworks problematise the boundedness of nation-state, territory, and culture? How do institutions and regimes of governmentality alter conceptual frameworks? The conference brings together scholars and practitioners working in race and ethnicity studies, migration studies, postcolonialism, literature, historical studies, urban studies, geography and the visual arts to reflect on these questions, and engage in comparative intercultural and interdisciplinary dialogue.
