INTERNATIONAL INSTITUTE SERIES LECTURE SERIES:
CITIZENSHIP AT RISK

Globalization, changing economic and political entitlements, and ethno-nationalism have rendered the concept of citizenship increasingly more ambiguous and more fragile. As part of the LS&A theme year on “Citizenship”, the International Institute and its constituent units will explore the changing meaning and practice of citizenship in an era of increasingly complex local, national, regional and global allegiances. See the International Institute Events Calendar for further information.
