A Community of Scholars Deliberating Democracy and Enhancing Governance

Citizenship Activities

Citizenship Inventory

We invite those interested in the subject of citizenship to join in the ongoing discussions and inquiry central to the mission of the Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs. Below you will find an introduction to the Maxwell School’s approach to the subject of citizenship as well as a representative sample of current scholarly work Maxwell faculty have and are doing that pertains to citizenship. We hope this descriptive account and the publications we have highlighted in the list that follows will be of value to you. Please consider this an open call for collegial dialogue and engagement about any and all aspects of teaching and research about this central institution of democratic politics.
