Funded Activity Summary

Citizenship and Claims of Belonging in Australian Law and History. What does it mean legally to ‘be’ an Australian? What role does the law play in shaping theories of belonging to Australia, and concepts of citizenship and Australian nationhood? The Project will address these questions, exploring key constitutional cases in which individual claims to ‘belong’ were the central issue. It will address fundamental issues about the relationship between citizenship and membership of the Australian community, contextualizing these in the social and political culture of their time. Outcomes include a historically grounded understanding of what makes Australian society cohere, and the challenges created at key points in time by shifting and sometimes conflicting legal and social visions of Australian citizenship.
