This course explores changing ways citizenship and identity are conceptualized in a global and globalizing world. We will explore national identity, citizenship, and how transnational migration and transnational communities are challenging traditional notions of belonging.

We will look into:

What kinds of challenges do semi-permanent and permanent transnational migration present to understanding citizenship rights?

Can someone have multiple national identities?
