Radhika Desai, a professor at the Department of Political Studies and director of Geographical Economy Research Group at the University of Manitoba in Winnipeg, Canada, will be speaking next week on economic “cosmopolitanism,” the ideology that all human beings belong to a single community, based on a shared morality.

The talk will take place on Thursday, April 12, at 6 p.m. in Clark A 205.

Desai will speak on dispelling myths that, under a cloak of cosmopolitanism, have led to a simplistic and economic conception of the advancement of capitalism. She argues that as an age of multi-polarity dawns, the geopolitical economy’s more state-centric understanding of the modern economy and its international evolution is more and more necessary in understanding and engaging with it.

The event is sponsored by the Association of Graduate Economics and the CSU Department of Economics. For more information, contact Edward.teacher-posadas@colostate.edu
