Conceptualizing “Citizenship”in Diverse Societies

“Differentiated Citizenship”and“Aboriginal Citizenship”in Canada

Abstract

Researchers in education frequently discuss terms such as“World Citizenship”or“Global Citizenship”.In using these terms, most focus on a discussion of curricular or educational goals.Discussions in philosophy or political science, on the other hand, focus on the concept of“citizenship”in the context of recognizing cultural diversity.Both of these perspectives are significant andcomplementary in their own way.
