Citizenship Education
In a globalized world, the need for orientation, self-localization and negotiation of individual group memberships as well as the requirements for the self-determined action of individuals are increasing. The analysis of these processes of socialization from the perspective of inclusion and citizenship reveals increasing options for action, opportunities for personal and institutional learning and possibilities for increased sustainability as well as inevitable tensions between inclusion and exclusion, grueling dilemmas between competing normative demands and paradoxes in the structure of socialization processes that block action. The various projects of the interdisciplinary Center for Inclusive Citizenship (CINC) at the Leibniz Universität Hannover are dedicated to the investigation of these processes from educational, historical, political science, special education, sociological and didactic perspectives.

Citizenship as (legal) status configuration
- Group-specific configurations of (non-) membership
- normalization
Citizenship as civic practice
- bottom-up-perspective
- "Acts of Citizenship"
Citizenship, understood at the CINC as a duality of civic status and civic practice, is itself always in a dichotomous state between desired or propagated inclusion and actual co-produced exclusion. Citizenship refers to both membership status and membership roles in a socialization process. In terms of status and practice, citizenship controls specific configurations of exclusion and inclusion across different socialization processes.
These two approaches are examined from different perspectives in the various research clusters.

Call for Papers: Inclusive Citizenship Education in Times of Crisis
The 2nd INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE of the JOURNAL SCUOLA DEMOCRATICA “REINVENTING EDUCATION” will be hosted online June 3 through 5 2021, by Scuola Democratica, Centro Interuniversitario per la Ricerca Didattica (University of Cagliari and University of Sassari), Il Mulino. The challenges posed by the contemporary world have long required a rethinking of educational concepts, policies, and practices. The question about education ‘for what’ as well as ‘how’ and ‘for whom’ has become unavoidable and yet it largely remained elusive due to a tenacious attachment to the ideas and routines of the past which are now far off the radical transformations required of educational systems.

We invite you to submit an Abstract/Paper for your presentation at the Panel session: B.7 INCLUSIVE CITIZENSHIP EDUCATION IN TIMES OF CRISIS
In the proposed panel we want to investigate how the democratic educational mandate can be fulfilled in times of crisis. What role does citizenship education play in the political discourse on school closings and distance learning? Is citizenship education as one of the central educational tasks marginalized in times of crisis? We want to answer the question whether until now enough has been done to educate towards citizenship and democracy from different perspectives. We want to examine what kind of educational concepts we need to enable people to deal with conspiracy theories. Does education represent a bulwark against them and what research tells us about the variability of values, attitudes, and political preferences?
Abstracts/Paper should be submitted by April 4, 2021. For more information on how to submit your Abstract/Paper, please click here.
