Funded Activity Summary

A comparative constitutional history of citizenship Law and gender. Australia has been a historical leader both in progressive citizenship laws for women, and in democratic constitution-making. This history is relatively well-known, but little attention has been paid to the constitutional dimension of citizenship law, and even less with respect to its impact on gender equality. As constitution-making and modernisation increase around the world, along with growing strains on domestic regulation of citizenship in all modern countries, the place of gender equality in these processes is a central issue. This project will engage Australian scholarship in, and enhance Australia's contribution to, an important and growing field, from a comparative and trans-national perspective.
