Once considered outdated, citizenship revocation, the act of stripping born or naturalized citizens of their civic, political, social, and cultural membership rights has again increased in importance over the past two decades. Gaining traction in the cases of returning jihadists and supposedly fraudulent citizenship applications, citizenship revocation is an extreme case of unbelonging.
This workshop will examine what citizenship revocation means for those doing and undergoing it, as well as its social and symbolic repercussions. It situates the 2020 book When States Take Rights Back: Citizenship Revocation and Its Discontents by Emilien Fargues, Elke Winter and Matthew Gibney in a wider debate on boundary-drawing through expulsion, contingent citizenship, and the lack/loss of legal status.
Speakers:
- Emilien Fargues, European University Institute
- Asad Asad, Stanford University
- Audrey Macklin, University of Toronto
Chair:
Elke Winter, University of Ottawa
