CONTENTS OF THE COURSE
The course is divided into three interrelated sections.
The first section will provide an historical overview of the concept of citizenship and its entanglements with the development of the nation-state, with particular attention to the rights and duties of citizens within it. It will critically analyse more recent conceptualisations of citizenship associated with the development of sub- and supra-national forms of political organisation: from the institutionalisation of the human rights regime to the expansion of neoliberal globalisation, the European idea of citizenship, and more local acts of citizenship. By switching our perspective from the global to the local level, this section will eventually explore some of the most common alternatives to the traditional concepts and practices of citizenship, from the postcolonial critique and its attention to global inequalities to the feminist critique and its focus on grounded practices of citizenship and participation.
Following from this, the second section will concentrate on citizenship education, examining how contemporary social processes can affect – and simultaneously be affected by – civic participation and belonging, continuously (re)configuring the boundaries of in- and exclusion among citizens and non-citizens alike. In this respect, this section will maintain a global perspective over socio-economic inequalities, bordering practices and environmental concerns, exploring how different actors – from transnational migrants to global climate campaigns and feminist movements – continuously negotiate, contest and resist these practices at local level, cha(lle)nging the power, racial, and gendered boundaries of in- and exclusion across space.
In the last section, students will apply the main concepts of citizenship education to classroom realities in Austria, putting some of the concepts that have been discussed earlier in the course into practice. In particular, students will present an outline of a didactical approach to one chosen concept of citizenship education, making it applicable for their own teaching practices. Besides, they will eventually discuss potential alternatives over the concept and practice of citizenship at local and international level (post-national citizenship, digital citizenship, etc.), imagining directions for future social and educational debates.

OBJECTIVES OF THE COURSE:
- To introduce students to contemporary debates on citizenship;
- To provide a framework for a critical understanding of current socio-political processes;
- To encourage in-depth reflections on the concept and practice of citizenship in educational contexts.

LEARNING OUTCOMES:
By the end of the course, students will be able to:
- Demonstrate familiarity with different theoretical and practical perspectives on citizenship;
- Critically assess the interrelationships between contemporary
socio-political processes and the concepts and practices of citizenship and citizenship education;
- Apply citizenship education concepts to personal teaching practices.
