The Center for the Study of Citizenship

The Center for the Study of Citizenship at Wayne State University promotes interdisciplinary research and exchange about citizenship within a global community of scholars; students; political, community and business leaders; and the general public. In particular, the Center encourages analysis of the relationship between citizens and the political, social, economic, and cultural communities of which they are a part.

Towards these ends, the Center will:

• Foster the study of citizenship as an interdisciplinary academic field
• Establish a forum to stimulate and shape public discourse about citizenship

Statement of Purpose

Vital communities - social, economic and political - require informed, active citizens

The Center for the Study of Citizenship is the premier global institution dedicated to the interdisciplinary study and promotion of citizenship.
