Global Citizenship and Identities Research Group

Description

The Global Citizenship and Identities interdisciplinary research group acknowledges the importance of global connections in understanding how ideas move across boundaries.

Global interconnections involve the mobility of capital, people and ideas around the world. These movements increasingly shape social, economic, political and cultural dimensions of everyday life, as well as the organisations and institutions that the group operates within.

The Global Citizenship and Identities research group places global citizenship at the forefront of its activities by acknowledging the importance of these global interconnections for its research and vision. Whereas historically the social sciences and humanities have focused on the study of national societies and bounded communities, the group also recognises the increasing salience of transactions across borders through research on migration, employment, international development, religion and ethnicity.

The research group brings together staff across disciplinary boundaries who are actively engaged in research at an international level. More specifically, the disciplines represented by the groups’ members include History, Criminology, Geography, Psychology and Sociology.
