*** Apologies for cross-posting. *Open panel:** Citizenship policies and citizenship education in times of uncertainty* at the 28th National Convention of the German Political Science Association (GPSA) (digital event), 14-16 Sept 2021*.* *Panel chairs**: * Nora Siklodi (University of Portsmouth); Katarina Marej (University of Münster) and Frank Reichert (University of Hong Kong) *Panel description: *Citizenship policies and education have become increasingly popular for policy interventions seeking to frame and design inclusion and exclusion processes. While these policies have traditionally been determined by genuine national considerations, their sources have changed, increasingly coming from global and knowledge exchanges as well as ‘best practice’ learnings, such as patriotic education, social cohesion and immigration regulation. This change has led to parallel developments in the content of citizenship, including a move from greater liberalisation in the 1990s to greater autocratisation post-9/11. Within education policies, the latest interventions seemingly intended to prevent radicalisation, requiring a shift away from raising critical and mature citizens towards raising loyal, trusting and supportive citizens. The implications of these developments for broader democratisation and autocratisation processes, as well as citizenship practices cannot be underestimated. This panel seeks papers which reflect upon recent developments in citizenship policies and education, including both empirical and theoretical contributions. We are especially interested in the following themes: ● Empirical and comparative analyses of policy developments in citizenship and citizenship education; ● Critical reflections on the securitization of citizenship and citizenship education, especially in the context of prevention and (de)radicalization programs; ● Bottom-up responses to these developments by citizens, teachers, students and families; ● Self-reflexive processes within academia concerning the globalized development of citizenship theory as well as theoretical differentiations of education and indoctrination. We are looking for 3-4 presentations which inform about recent developments and enable a lively and constructive exchange among the international participants. Please submit your paper proposals (abstracts with *max. 250 words*) by *28 February 2021* via the DVPW website and choose *P113*: https://forms.office.com/Pages/ResponsePage.aspx?id=DQSIkWdsW0yxEjajBLZtrQAAAAAAAAAAAAO__f3IvVJUMDJDNEowR0ZKMElMVVFVUDVYMUU5MEZaUy4u Please note that the page is currently only available in German, we hope there will be an English version soon.
