This short "course" describes social citizenship in relation to rights and obligations within society. The speakers provided an excellent insight into problems relating not just to Women, disabled people but also general concepts which western societies, in particular, are implementing. Personally I found it very useful.

Thanks. The other short course I have read, and has similarity with the groups mentioned here, is in Social construction and social constructionism. As someone from a northern background (Sheffield) many issues are inherent to both. Best of luck with your courses.

Hello, please note a typo in the transcript for the second audio recording: Helen's text, last paragraph, "bind women" should be "blind women." The text corresponds with Helen's speech just about a minute before the audio file ends. Thank you.

Sorry for the multiple postings regarding the typo. I don't know how to delete them.
Course evaluation: Citizenship is a big concept for a short intro. Bearing this in mind, along with the notion that the topic is 'engendering' citizenship, there are herein a lot of considerations to this end packed into a short space. The examples provided, of barriers and their corresponding modes of access to full, or any, participation as a citizen, were helpful. This course is a good starting point for discussion, one that can be continued with peers over coffee; i.e. it is not some esoteric theory, but rather something everyone can grasp and relate to thier own experiences and observations.
