Abstract: This introduction to the "Cosmopolitanism on the Cusp" cluster argues that the models of cosmopolitanism produced globally during the period of 1880–1920 determined the directions in which cosmopolitan thought would eventually develop in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. It then shows how the essays in this cluster decouple cosmopolitan thinking from an exclusionary Eurocentric epistemology to investigate a variety of intersectional cosmopolitan-isms produced through relational networks spanning across the global north and the global south.
