Enacting European Citizenship (ENACT)

Learning outcomes

After studying this course, you should be able to:

  • demonstrate a familiarity with the most recent scholarship on European citizenship and in particular with the concepts of ‘acts of citizenship’ and ‘activist citizenship’
  • explain why European citizenship is said to be ‘derivative’ citizenship
  • discuss the limits around thinking of citizenship as a status, and of thinking of citizenship from the perspective of those who already hold it
  • understand how citizenship can be seen differently by asking ‘how do people do citizenship?’ rather than ‘who is the citizen?’
  • elaborate on the ways in which those who do not hold EU citizenship can act as a European citizen.
