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.

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.

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.

  • Gender Syllabus
    MARKETS AND INEQUALITIES: AN INTERSECTIONAL APPROACH Departments of Gender Studies and Sociology and Social Anthropology Central European University, Fall 2016 Times: Mondays and Fridays 9 – 10:40 a.m. Location: Z412 Instructor: Ashley Mears Email: [email protected] Office: Office hours: Mondays 12 - 2 and by appointment Course Description This course examines developments in the vibrant field of “new” economic sociology, and first outlines how gender and culture operate as influences on markets, such as how markets are constrained by networks, norms, and social ties on economic exchange. We next consider markets as cultural formations in their own right first by studying particular discourses and practices that sustain market relationship; next by examining the commodification of ambiguous commodities like bodies and sex. Having established the interdependencies between culture and commerce, we examine how social processes produce inequalities in markets with case studies of multiple commercial sites, from luxury shopping to the labor market. Ultimately, the course shows how in all areas of economic life people are creating, maintaining, symbolizing, and transforming meaningful social relations, in the process reproducing intersecting inequalities of gender, race, and class. Learning Outcomes This course (1) provides students with an overview of the key debates, theoretical cannons and research agendas in the sociology of gender and economic sociology and (2) prepares students for doing their own research. By the end of the semester, you will have completed an original empirical research paper, have a grasp of the field and an understanding of how to do intersectional research in economic sociology. Course Materials: All readings are available on the course websites site or through the CEU library online databases.

I have carefully selected the readings so that your assignments are rarely more than 175 pp./week. Readings: Books are on sale at University Bookstore and on reserve at College Library. See on p. 3 of this syllabus the complete list of books available for purchase. Note about Printing Materials Available Through Learn@UW: Please conserve paper in whatever ways possible! Please use double-sided printing and perhaps even try to fit multiple pages on each side. I have prepared a great many e-reserves. It adds up. Selection of Readings: I have tried to achieve several objectives simultaneously in my choice of readings for this course. I have tried to select readings that likely will be useful and important for all graduate students in the human sciences as they move into the study of race and ethnicity. I have chosen works that speak to students of different professional orientations (the students enrolled in this seminar being, of course, inevitably a diverse group). I have tried to find selections that will be stimulating both to students experienced in race theory and to students who have encountered little or no race theory before. I also have tried to achieve a balance between breadth and depth, which I acknowledge has entailed some difficult judgment calls.
