SOC189Z PO - Sociology of (Non)CitizenshipWhen Offered: One-time only; spring 2024
Instructor(s): L.Tenorio
Credit: 1
We will explore questions about citizenship in contemporary society, drawing on empirical and normative perspectives. This includes legal status, as well as entitlement to a set of rights, participation in self-governance, identity and belonging, etc. By “empirical,” we investigate what social science evidence tells us about the benefits of citizenship and how different citizens are made through social, legal, and political processes. By “normative,” we think through questions of what a society ought to do: what is morally right, just, or fair regarding citizenship. Attention will be given to the relationship between citizenship and gender, immigration, disability, sexuality, and incarceration.
