The Jean Monnet Centre of Excellence is very pleased to host a lecture, “Ancestral Citizenship in Europe: From National Roots to Migratory Routes?”, with Dr. Thales Speroni.<\/p>\n

About the lecture<\/strong>: Several EU member states grant citizenship to descendants of emigrant populations abroad. While rooted in nation-building logics, these provisions raise questions about who gets to be a national and EU citizen, and on what terms. This talk analyzes how extraterritorial access to citizenship reshapes visions of Europe across generations in Italy, Germany, and Bulgaria. Focusing on the Italian case, it explores the frictions between normative expectations embedded in citizenship law and the actual migratory projects of recently recognized citizens.<\/p>\n

\"\"About the lecturer: <\/b>Dr. Thales Speroni is a sociologist with Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique<\/a> (CNRS), a postdoctoral fellow at the Centre Norbert Elias<\/a> in Marseille (France), and part of the Volkswagen Foundation-funded ACE (Ancestral Citizenship Acquisition in Europe<\/a>) project, which examines the implications of bloodline and co-ethnicity as routes to citizenship.<\/span><\/p>\n
