Citizenship
Citizenship - Laurie Taylor explores the way in which children are being taught about 'fundamental British values' and the process by which immigrants become British citizens.
Citizenship - Carol Vincent, Professor of Sociology of Education, explores the way in which children are being taught about 鈥榝undamental British values鈥� such as democracy and tolerance. Does this government imposed requirement too easily result in a celebration of reductionist symbols and stereotypes of Britishness - 'tea and the Queen'? Also, David Bartram, Associate Professor in the Department of Sociology at the University of Leicester, takes a critical look at a UK 鈥榗itizenship process鈥� which subjects immigrants to a test designed to enhance their participation in British political and civic life. Does it work?
