4) Institute for Citizenship &
Globalisation (ICG) at Deakin University
Dear Colleague,
The Institute for Citizenship and Globalisation (ICG) is a key Research
Institute at Deakin University, with a history of ten years of research
collaboration. The ICG is based on wide networks of research affiliations
and operates at the cutting edge of international research. The ICG
comprises of 46 researchers; 10 Professors, 9 Associate Professors, and
27 Senior Lecturers and Lectures. Sustainability and succession are
ensured through systematic mentoring of mid career research staff and
ECRs in collaborative hybrid research programs.
Web address:
http://www.deakin.edu.au/arts-ed/icg/
ICG researchers work within and across six interrelated themes:
- Civil society and
Community
- Conflict, Peace and
Development
- Transnational Public
Spheres
- Migration and
Intercultural Relations
- Cultural Diversity,
Heritage Identity
- Governance and
Democracy
The nature of globalisation and its impact on the relationship between
nation states and their citizens is one of the key issues confronting
contemporary societies and polities. New global forces challenge
traditional ideas of citizenship and democracy that are primarily based
on rights and institutions within the nation state. These tendencies call
for more complex understandings of how individuals, political groups and
corporations interact with, and claim membership of, social, economic,
political and cultural organisations within and beyond the nation. As
traditional forms of social, political and cultural infrastructure are
eroded and superseded, innovative ways of thinking about belonging,
participation and accountability are urgently called for. Such thinking
needs to accommodate new configurations of global, regional and local
forces and allow for the impact of new technologies of communication.
These ideas and practices call for distinctive concepts, methodologies
and different research paradigms that cut across disciplinary as well as
national boundaries.
The Institute for Citizenship and Globalisation (ICG) responds to these
imperatives and investigates the above issues, in contemporary and
historical contexts, from a multi-disciplinary, cross-cultural,
international perspective while giving attention to issues of gender,
ethnicity and religion.
Since the inception, the institute has released ICG Bulletin on a
bi-monthly basis. The bulletins are available as pdf files for viewing
on-line:
