BONUS: Talking about citizenship in ’Global Britain’

Recorded live at the virtual launch event hosted by the Centre for Alternatives to Social and Economic Inequalities, Lancaster University, 21 October 2021, Talking about citizenship in 'Global Britain' brings together Chantelle Lewis (Surviving Society, University of Oxford); podcast host and producer Michaela Benson (Lancaster University) and podcast researcher George Kalivis (Goldsmiths) to talk about the conversations we need to be having about citizenship and how social science research can help to debunk taken-for-granted understandings of who is a citizen and who is a migrant. They explore why the back story to Britain's contemporary citizenship-migration regime matters, how the past and present of British citizenship is caught up in global inequalities, and much more.

You can also watch the event on Youtube.
