Abstract
ABSTRACT This piece reflects on my work and its relationship to the study of citizenship. Throughout my career, I have studied citizenship from various vantage points – including the regimes that extend/restrict rights; the movements that seek to deepen citizenship; the organizations that can upend it; and the states that are necessary to protect it. As a whole, my scholarship speaks to the inherent tension between inclusion and exclusion as well as between promise and practice. In this context, my work features the importance of social movements struggling to contest (and advance) the boundaries of citizenship (and often human rights) – expanding who is included and the rights this affords.
期刊介绍:
Citizenship Studies publishes internationally recognised scholarly work on contemporary issues in citizenship, human rights and democratic processes from an interdisciplinary perspective covering the fields of politics, sociology, history and cultural studies. It seeks to lead an international debate on the academic analysis of citizenship, and also aims to cross the division between internal and academic and external public debate. The journal focuses on debates that move beyond conventional notions of citizenship, and treats citizenship as a strategic concept that is central in the analysis of identity, participation, empowerment, human rights and the public interest.
