This study examines how people claim citizenship and its associated rights and identities. It reveals that citizenship entitlements are actively constructed and used for inclusion or exclusion.

Area of Science:

  • Social Psychology
  • Discursive Psychology

Background:

  • Citizenship concepts originate in classical antiquity, focusing on public sphere legitimacy.
  • Existing psychological models of the citizen are briefly reviewed.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To contribute to a social psychology of the citizen by analyzing membership dynamics, rights, and identities.
  • To shift focus from 'who is the citizen?' to 'how do people claim citizenship and to what ends?' using discursive psychology principles.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of private letters of complaint from a larger mixed-methods dataset.
  • Focus on disputes concerning British travellers' settlement rights.

Main Results:

  • Letter writers establish claims by aligning citizenship and governance identities.
