Joint Seminar with a Guest Scholar Organised by the ACCPIL with the Support of CIRSUL
Event information
The joint seminar shall focus on the concept of citizenship, its different faces, meaning and places within various areas of law, as well as relevance to selected legal and non-legal implications for global governance, among others. Participants will be encouraged to reflect on deeper questions concerning the notions of citizenship and belonging as well as deconstruct certain status quo assumptions throughout interactive sessions. The two panellists leading the first part of the panels from the floor will aim to prompt reflective thoughts and different angles of looking at the same issue, including the practical policy-based perspective and the more philosophical approach to relevant theoretical elements. The objective is to identify selected clashes and tensions in the understanding as well as the application of the concept of citizenship within policy and governance as well as various areas of law – thus challenging the orthodox focus on the ‘public’ side of citizenship and exploring views and perceptions on the meaning and role of citizenship by fellow scholars from the ‘private’ realm, including PIL and family law.
Structure
There are two sessions of four panels each with a lunch break in-between. During lunch, participants are welcome to further discuss and engage among themselves regarding their impressions as well as topics of their choice.
Each panel will be split into three 15min parts. First one shall be led as a joint presentation and discussion by Ms Zabrocka and Mr Saqib on relevant themes, sub-issues as well as selected theoretical and practical considerations connection to the main subject of focus. Following that, the next 15min will be devoted to reflection, contributions and commentary from the participants. Lastly, the third part of each panel shall focus on joint open panel discussion among all of the participants as well as the panellists, exchanging views and different angles of looking at the same issue.
Disciplines and fields
The debate is planned to cover a variety of areas of law and their different perspectives on the notion of citizenship, its relevance as well as meaning for particular legal as well as non-legal considerations. Participants from different backgrounds and areas of expertise are encouraged to attend and share the space created for an open debate, stimulating discussions, and deeper reflections – questioning the very core of selected concepts and the interconnected themes.
