Research Interests

Limichi’s doctoral research will revolve around how movement participants and non-participants consider particular tactics legitimate strategies of enacting active citizenship. Through analyzing how citizens appropriate, subvert or resist the meaning of active citizenship, the project also aims to explore the discourses that influence conceptions of citizenship, civic practices, and dissent, and empirical questions as to the kinds of citizenship that are emerging.
