Alessandro Colleoni, Fondazione Collegio San Carlo, Modena, Italy - EHESS, Paris, France. I am a philosophy PhD student. My dissertation is an essay to find a phenomenological foundation of neo-Aristotelian phronesis (practical wisdom), between Paul Ricoeur and Martha Nussbaum. One of the themes I work on is the relationship between universality of human rights, grounded in a phenomenological way, and the hermeneutical consciousness of our being always part of a socio-cultural-historical point of view.

David M. Kretz is a Ph.D. student at the University of Chicago's Committee on Social Thought and the Department of Germanic Studies. His current research project traces, first, how Continental political thought since the 19th-century has conceived of historical agency on the model of a (post)Romantic conception of poetic creation, and, secondly, to propose the figure of the translator as an alternative to this poetic paradigm and model for agency in times of historical crisis. To this end, he combines political philosophy, translation theory, and anthropology. Before coming to Chicago, he got an M.A. in Philosophy from the École Normale Supérieure de Paris (working with Marc Crépon and Marc de Launay) and a B.A. in Humanities, the Arts, and Social Thought from Bard College Berlin. Before that, he studied philosophy at his hometown's University of Vienna and, during his B.A., studied political theory for a year at Sciences Po Paris. His academic work has appeared in Raisons Politiques and Kronos Quarterly, among other places. He has written for The Point Magazine, Libération, Public Seminar, Tocqueville21, and Asymptote Journal, is a contributing editor at the Journal of the History of Ideas Blog, and on the poetry staff at Chicago Review.

Mariusz Wegrzyn: In my research, I deal with the political, cultural, and economic structure of the European Union, and I am particularly interested in the EU role as attractor and transformator of the nearest and further geopolitical context. The global history teaches us, that no one national tribe, no one nation-states among Humanity can not enough resources to unilaterally govern the global village. The new world order ought to create an equal space to live and prosper for all: Europeans, Chinese, Russian, Africans. "I was elected to be president of the United State, not to be the president of the World" (Donald Trump). The same sentence is truth in relations to presidents of Russia, China and others. The Glob, the Earth doesn't have now a global government but now require global governance. Peaceful global governance is started from building a global community of common ideas. I am co-author of 5 research books and author of 8 research papers. My publications: https://ug.academia.edu/MariuszWegrzyn MAIN INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCES 2017 – Germany - Italy (Rome, Chamber of Deputies). 2016 - Belgrade, Serbia; DARPA, USA, Presentation: See Future Model (SFM).

Teresa Pullano: I am currently Assistant Professor in the Law Faculty and in the Institute of European Global Studies of the University of Basel. Among other publications, I am the author of “La citoyenneté européenne: un espace quasi-étatique” (Paris, Presses de Sciences Po, 2014). I have been an adjunct lecturer (ATER) at Sciences Po Paris (2010-2011), and Fulbright-Schuman Postdoctoral Fellow at Columbia University, New York (2009-2010). I hold an undergraduate degree in Philosophy, from the University of Pavia (2001) and I hold a PhD in political science from Sciences Po Paris (2009). I am interested in analyzing the restructuring of contemporary citizenship in Europe as a specific form and structure of statehood. How does European citizenship act as a strategy of differential governmentality in contemporary Europe? How do policies of citizenship - my research focuses especially on policies of free movement within the EU spaces - contribute to frame and to build multiple European territories? At the same time, I am interested in studying the conceptual structures framing citizenship and political subjectivity that emerge from current strategies of governmentality, with a special emphasis on analysing the relation between citizenship and material space.
