Lunch talk by Engin Isin
Isin writes about how people can exercise political agency through disruptive “acts of citizenship” aimed at countering domination and promoting emancipation. You are invited to a lunch conversation with Isin on the contested meanings of citizenship.
During this lunch seminar, Isin will explain some of the theoretical and methodological challenges of writing his most recent book, Citizenship (2024), considering the tumultuous historical moment in which we are living. This will be followed by an open conversation, where you can share your take on citizenship (from dismissing to radicalizing it), and the difficulties you may also find in grappling with it.
A light vegetarian lunch will be served.
Engin Isin is Professor Emeritus of International Politics at Queen Mary University of London.
