Call for contributing authors of a draft Global Constitution
Distinguished Professor Joyeeta Gupta of the University of Amsterdam, and winner of the Spinoza Award 2023, is undertaking a research project to write a Global Constitution.
The aim of this draft Constitution is to identify rights and responsibilities for all within the context of the Anthropocene. It aims to promote social wellbeing and environmental prosperity within an equitable world.
This project has three methods:

- Workshops to discuss content
If you want to be a contributing author, please write a 1000 word essay on what a 21st century global constitution should include. All serious essays will be taken into consideration. Give your name, address, age, occupation and some personal information as well.
Please send your essays to Joyeeta Gupta: joyeeta.gupta@uva.nl. The deadline for the 1st round of submissions is 1 December 2024.
