Citizenship Identities Governance

Professor Engin Isin has been awarded a prestigious European Research Council (ERC) Advanced Grant for his project Oecumene: Citizenship After Orientalism. The project focuses on the interaction between two controversial and contested concepts:  citizenship – the process by which belonging is recognised and enacted – and orientalism – the assertion of the superiority of western culture over its eastern counterparts.

The project will formally commence in April 2010.
