Contours of Citizenship: Identity, performance, cooperation and activism shaping citizenship boundaries

Abstract

This panel challenges traditional understandings of citizenship, spotlights the civic agency of women and LGBTQI+ persons, and explores the roles of marginalized communities in shaping civic space. Each paper offers a unique vantage point from which to explore how citizenship is constructed, contested, negotiated, and reimagined in various contexts. Together, these papers argue for a broadly inclusive concept of citizenship that recognizes diverse forms of active participation and the rights of all societal members.
