Book release: 'Gender, Race and Inclusive Citizenship'

Abstract

Roundtable discussion with Maribel Casas-Cortés, Steve Kenner, Helma Lutz, Tobias Neuburger, Aoileann Ní Mhurchú, Deborah Sielert and Linda Supik The bilingual volume “Gender, Race and Inclusive Citizenship” explores struggles and regimes of belonging and discusses “inclusive citizenship” as a concept that connects academic analysis with political struggles for belonging. Original contributions and conversations by international researchers and activists focus on the tensions between acts and regimes of citizenship. Highly political questions of agency arise in relation to freedom of movement, digital rights, belonging, care, and language. This will be discussed with reference to local, regional, digital or (trans‑)national spaces. The book is the result of a collaboration among researchers from the CINC (Center for Inclusive Citizenship, Leibniz University Hannover). It will be released at the same day. In this roundtable, the authors and editors mentioned above will discuss different perspectives on inclusive citizenship presented in the book.
