IS2356 — Creative Citizenship
This colloquium will explore the idea of creative citizenship, a concept FDR left incredibly vague. We will ask questions such as, What does it mean to be a citizen in the 21st Century? How about the 22nd Century? What does it mean to be a citizen in a digital nation? In the broadest terms, this colloquium explores citizenship as possibility rather than obligation. While we will first familiarize ourselves with histories and theories of citizenship, the bulk of our time together will be spent considering where citizenship might go rather than where it’s been.
