The inaugural International Congress of the Leibniz Research Center for Inclusive Citizenship (CINC) and the Biennial Conference of the ECPR Standing Group on Citizenship jointly examined various aspects of inclusion and citizenship as belongings, practices and acts, at the event.

With the aim to facilitate a theoretical discussion and presentation of empirical findings, this interdisciplinary conference considered citizenship and inclusion as social practices from a range of perspectives, such as:

  • Gender and migration
  • Learning and education
  • Digitalisation
  • Medicine
  • Cultural heritage 

About the conference

Address and empirically investigate the development and current patterns of inclusive and exclusive civic practices and routines in different fields of action and institutional settings.

Define the normative and analytical dimensions of inclusive citizenship.

Reflect on the inherent antinomies of normative concepts of inclusion and the ambivalences of citizenship.

We understand citizenship as a dual character of civic status and civic practice, including the tension between desired inclusion and actual co-produced exclusion. The 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 socialisation process. In terms of status and practice, citizenship controls specific configurations of exclusion and inclusion across different socialization processes.

In a globalised world, the need for orientation, self-localisation 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 socialisation from the perspective of inclusion and citizenship reveals increasing options for action and opportunities for personal and institutional learning. Moreover, this leads to unavoidable tensions between inclusion and exclusion, resulting in difficult dilemmas between competing normative claims and paradoxes in the structure of socialisation processes that block action.

These aspects will be examined at this conference under six Section themes.

  • Gender, Migration and Citizenship
  • Cultural Heritage and Citizenship
  • Digital Citizenship
  • Inclusive Citizenship Education
  • Teaching, Learning and Citizenship 
  • Medical Citizenship and Pandemic Preparedness
