Law and Citizenship Colloquium
The SMU Dedman School of Law is pleased to announce the Colloquium on
Law and Citizenship, a series where we will examine the ways in which
law and citizenship intersect to construct, influence and shape the meaning,
boundaries, definitions, domains, rights and obligations of citizenship.
Various leading scholars who are engaged in citizenship studies as well
as scholars who examine the impact of their work on the meaning and rights
of citizenship will present their work to faculty and students. The
overarching goal of the Colloquium is to have discussions not only about the
theoretical and substantive notions of citizenship but also their
normative implications on law and policy. For further information,
please contact SMU Dedman School of Law Professor
Rose Villazor at rvillazo@smu.edu.
