Event details

Following the Brexit vote the future status and rights of EU citizens living in the UK has become uncertain. This, the third and final seminar in our series examining how to 'think sociologically' about Brexit, looks at the changing relationship between mobility and citizenship. We will discuss mobility and naturalisation decision-making and the meaning of 'citizenship' in the context of social uncertainty.

Bringing together the arts and sociology, the event will include keynote speeches by the poet George Szirtes, and Bridget Byrne, a Senior Lecturer at the University of Manchester.

This day seminar, organised by the Centre for Population Change and funded by the Sociological Review Foundation, takes place at the University of Southampton on the 31st March 2017. Registration is free of charge and complimentary lunch and refreshments will be provided.
