19th Annual National Conference
October 2–4, 2009
Calvin College,
Grand Rapids, Michigan
Practicing Cosmopolitanism
Welcome! The 2009 Lilly Fellows Program National Conference at Calvin College
will consider how church-related institutions of higher education can cultivate in their students the skills needed to be a cosmopolitan in a markedly global society--attentive to the particularities of their own culture, respectful of legitimate differences, and able to balance their own allegiances with obligations to others, particularly those to whom they have no relation by nature or inclination.
Registration is now closed. We look forward to welcoming participants in October.
Plenary Sessions
Keynote addresses for this year's conference will be offered by three gifted practitioners of cosmopolitanism: Amir Hussain, Angela Christman, and Suresh Canagarajah. Dr. Hussain will speak to us on Muslim/Christian neighborliness, Dr. Christman will present theological resources for cosmopolitanism, and Dr. Canagarajah will address the possibilities of multilingualism. We look forward to welcoming you to Calvin's campus for a time of thought-provoking discussions and interaction.
