Citizenship and the Politics of Contention

27.05.2024 – 31.05.2024

This Summer School aims to deepen students' knowledge about citizenship and the politics of contention and to strengthen their engagement with research questions and their capacity to deliver fully-fledged papers and presentations.

The course is structured around five more specific issues relating to the general topic of the Summer School and their implications for citizenship:

Contention in democracies vs autocracies
Individual vs collective forms of contention
Particularistic vs universalist contention
Online vs offline contention
Organized vs spontaneous contention

Each topic will be addressed on a different weekday. Teaching is based on lectures, assigned readings, group work, presentations, and discussions. Students will be assessed based on a written assignment and the related presentation.
