Unit description
Interest in citizenship and borders has never been higher - conceptual and practical aspects of citizenship permeate a range of contemporary debates on belonging, identity, the nation, and touch on some of the most pressing global challenges we face. This unit presents historical and conceptual approaches to citizenship, national borders, and national as well as transnational identities. The first part of the unit explores these through historical overviews of these concepts and practices, and the second part offers an examination of the contemporary political and socio-cultural landscapes that have given rise to transnational and global citizenships. |

General Assessment Information
Please note that the University and the Faculty of Arts have launched a new assessment policy effective as of 1 July 2021. This new policy particularly affects LATE SUBMISSION OF ASSESSMENTS.
The Faculty policy in relation to late assessment submissions is as follows:
Unless a Special Consideration request has been submitted and approved, (a) a penalty for lateness will apply – 10 marks out of 100 credit will be deducted per day for assignments submitted after the due date – and (b) no assignment will be accepted seven days (incl. weekends) after the original submission deadline. No late submissions will be accepted for timed assessments – e.g. quizzes, online tests, etc.
To be very clear:
· Unless you have applied for special consideration and had your application approved, for each day your assignment is late, 10 marks will be deducted. For example, if you submit your assignment 7 days late, 70 marks will be deducted, which means you will fail that assignment.
· If your assignment is more than 7 days late (including weekends), you will get 0 marks for your assignment.
These are serious penalties that will substantially alter your final grade and even determine whether you pass or fail this unit. Please make every effort to submit your assignment by the due date.
If you find you cannot submit your assignment on time, please apply for Special Consideration through AskMQ. Make sure you read Macquarie University's policy regarding Special Consideration requests before you apply: https://students.mq.edu.au/study/assessment-exams/special-consideration
