International volunteering, faith and subjectivity: Negotiating cosmopolitanism, citizenship and development

► We examine claims that international volunteering creates new global subjectivities. ► Subjectivities evolve through international volunteering in multilayered ways. ► Faith and secular imaginaries can interweave to shape global subjectivities. ► These can shape cosmopolitanisms that smooth over issues of poverty and inequality. ► Volunteers can express multiple subjectivities performed in diverse ways.
