Notes

Geographical location is an important aspect of global citizenship. Global citizenship is a concept that emphasizes the interconnectedness of people and nations across the world, and the need for individuals to take responsibility for the well-being of the planet and its inhabitants ¹. Geography provides invaluable and unique ways of thinking about the world that are very much in line with global citizenship education (GCE) ¹. Geographers examine interactions between people and their physical and social contexts, and are interested in why and how people use and transform their environments ¹. Geographic inquiries about people's engagement with their environments are also matters of civics ¹. One of the foundational relationships between geography and civics is the "where" of citizenship ¹. Because citizenship presumes a locational attachment, we might begin by contemplating how citizens articulate the places to which they claim belonging or membership ¹. When citizenship is modified by "global," global arises as a conceptual and lived space worthy of investigation ¹. The global place is not a neutral or preexisting space but rather one heavily structured through histories and contemporary forms of slavery, patriarchy, imperialism, colonization, and heteronormativity ¹. As an emerging field, GCE evokes geographic questions about how people engage with global systems across the container of the nation-state and how resistances and reimaginations of these forms, through claims of global citizenship, make the global a place of becoming and possibility ¹.

I hope this helps!
