Read Aneesh Aneesh’s New Piece in Noema: “Citizenship Is a Myth”

Former C21 Faculty Fellow Aneesh Aneesh (Sociology, UWM) has a new piece featured in Noema!

The piece, “Citizenship is a Myth,” speaks to the crisis of citizenship that informs the Trumpian politics of membership (and all such politics from India to Hungary). In it, Aneesh argues that “it is dysfunctional to think of citizenship as a form of blanket membership in a national club; instead, citizenship has grown to be a measure of modulated access to a cluster of rights.” The article grew out of research conducted during his Fellowship year at C21.

Congratulations Aneesh!
