From a socio- logical perspective, a central question is, what are the practices and processes by which individuals or groups are defi ned as competent members of a community? And in the other direction, what are the practices that individuals and groups adopt in order to establish claims to membership in a community? Carefully analyzing such social practices and processes can help us overcome two tendencies that limit our understanding of citizenship: (1) Viewing citizenship as a static bundle of rights, and (2) Viewing the ambit of citizenship as limited to the nation state. Instead, we view citizenship as a fl uid and contested domain, oper- ating in multiple overlapping communities, within and across nation states. The theme of the 2010 ASA meetings is intended to stimulate development of sociological approaches to a comparative transna- tional study of citizenship. The theme can be explored from the perspective of many areas of specialization in sociology, including family, immigration, labor, collective movements, criminology, political sociology, and religion, by asking, for example: • How is citizenship distinct among various sociological forms of membership, and how does a formal institutionalization of rights interact with informal structures of participation, claims-making, and feelings of belonging? How are social institutions (e.g., family, labor market, religion), in addition to the state, implicated in defi ning the boundaries of citizenship and in recognizing (or reject- ing) rights? • How are status categories (e.g., gender, age, race) and affi liations (e.g., religion, language, culture) used to defi ne different levels or degrees of citizenship? • How have major demographic, economic, technological, and social trends (e.g., transnational migration, ethnic and racial diversity, and confl ict within nation states, reliance of some third-world economies on remittances from emigrants, use of the internet for information and maintenance of social ties) changed the meaning or relevance of citizenship? • How has the growth of supra-national entities (e.g., international human rights regimes, global banking and fi nancial systems, and multi-national corporations) affected the role or signifi cance of citizenship in sub-national, national, and supranational communities? 2010 Program Committee Evelyn Nakano Glenn, President and Committee Chair, University of California-Berkeley John Logan, Vice President, Brown University Rick Baldoz, University of Hawaii José Z.

  • Constructing Citizenship: Exclusion, Subordination, and Resistance
    2010 Presidential Address American Sociological Review 76(1) 1–24 Constructing Citizenship: Ó American Sociological Association 2011 DOI: 10.1177/0003122411398443 Exclusion, Subordination, http://asr.sagepub.com and Resistance Evelyn Nakano Glenna Abstract This Presidential Address develops a sociological concept of citizenship, particularly substan- tive citizenship, as fundamentally a matter of belonging, including recognition by other members of the community. In this conception, citizenship is not simply a fixed legal status, but a fluid status that is produced through everyday practices and struggles. Historical examples illustrate the way in which boundaries of membership are enforced and challenged in everyday interac- tions. The experience of undocumented immigrant college students is particularly illuminating. These students occupy a position of liminal legality, which transcends fixed categories such as legal and illegal. As they go about their daily lives, their standing is affirmed in some settings and denied in others. Furthermore, the undocumented student movement, which asserts that education is a human and social right, represents a form of insurgent citizenship, one that chal- lenges dominant formulations and offers an alternative and more inclusive conception.

  • Gay Atlanta – the Best Gay Hotels, Bars, Clubs & More Atlanta, the Georgia State Capital, Is Often Considered the Unofficial Gay Capital of the Southern USA
    Gay Atlanta – the best gay hotels, bars, clubs & more Atlanta, the Georgia state capital, is often considered the unofficial gay capital of the southern USA. Although the south may not have an LGBT-friendly reputation, this bustling metropolis is an open, friendly and welcoming destination for all travelers. Here you’ll find a melting pot of cultures and a unique mix of southern charm with all the conveniences of big city living. Atlanta is also a historically significant location due to its Important role during the American Civil Rights Movement in the 1960s. Today, it’s known for world-class museums, shopping, outdoor spaces, southern cuisine and nightlife as well as thriving neighborhoods. General ps The hot and humid summer weather between June and August gives merit to the nickname, Hotlanta. This is also when room rates are their highest. The best time to visit is from March to May when you’ll enjoy milder weather to spend time outside and take advantage of all the outdoor events and activities. To save a few dollars, try visiting in December, January or February when the city is less crowded and room prices drop due to the cooler weather. When planning your visit, also consider the Atlantic hurricane season that lasts from summer through fall and could interrupt your trip. When booking accommodations, keep in mind that Midtown is the center of gay life in Atlanta, although LGBT-friendly spots can be found throughout the city and suburbs. Other areas like Downtown, Westside, Ansley Mall/Cheshire Bridge, Buckhead and Grant Park and Cabbagetown all boast LGBT shops, restaurants and venues.

  • Gender, Migration and Rural Livelihoods in Ghana
    GENDER, MIGRATION AND RURAL LIVELIHOODS IN GHANA: A CASE OF THE HO DISTRICT By JUSTINA EYRAM DUGBAZAH A thesis submitted to The University of Birmingham For the Degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Centre of West African Studies School of Historical Studies Faculty of Arts The University of Birmingham August 2007 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.

The central argument of the study is that policy making on migration and livelihood, tends to ignore gender as a critical issue in development planning. The study suggests that effective development policy interventions should take into consideration the dynamics of gender relations because men and women experience migration differently. Employing primary and secondary data, the study demonstrates that when men and/or women migrate, there are consequences for households. For those migrating, this can result in either empowerment or increased vulnerability. And for the agricultural households in the sending areas, the departure of men and/or women affects their livelihood and division of labour.

    Sociology 875 , Section 002 Professor Chad Alan Goldberg Spring 2013 Office: 8116B Social Sciences Wednesday 6:00 - 7:40 PM E-mail: [email protected] Classroom: 4314 Sewell Social Sciences Office hours: Monday 12:30 – 2:00 (email in advance) SPECIAL TOPICS: SOCIOLOGY OF CITIZENSHIP Overview Focusing mainly on citizenship trends in North America and Europe, this course concentrates on four main themes: 1) the progressive inclusion of previously marginalized or excluded groups as full citizens, and the terms of their incorporation; 2) the erosion of social rights, social citizenship, and the welfare state in the context of neoliberalism and globalization; 3) concerns about the withdrawal of citizens in recent decades from civic engagement and involvement in public life; and 4) the expansion of citizenship, i.e., the shift from single and exclusive citizenship in a nation-state to supra- or postnational citizenship, on the one hand, and dual or multiple citizenship, on the other hand. Course Requirements 1. Regular assigned readings. You are expected to complete all required reading assignments before the class meeting in which we discuss them. If you are unable to read the entire assignment carefully, at least try to skim through it. 2. Attendance and active participation in seminar discussions throughout the semester. All seminar participants should be prepared at class time to discuss all of the required readings assigned for that week. 3. Class presentations. Although I will lead seminar discussions throughout the semester, all students are required to make a seminar presentation on one of the weekly reading assignments. These presentations should be no more than 15 minutes.
