[This is a rerelease of a previously published episode]
Atossa Araxia Abrahamian joins us to talk about her book The Cosmopolites: The Coming of the Global Citizen.
Nick and Atossa discuss the global business of buying and selling citizenships and what it means to be a “cosmopolite.” Is globalization good? Should we identify as citizens of more than one place? And what are our responsibilities to people on the other side of the world, when people in our own countries aren’t doing so well?
This episode was recorded on October 3, 2017, at Columbia University’s Graduate School of Journalism in New York City.
