ABSTRACT
This chapter examines the spatial practices that create vulnerable citizenship and provide opportunity to resist disenfranchisement. It provides various fictitious but realistic stories to contemplate the vulnerable citizen as a spatial production and to envision her civic engagements as similarly spatial Critical theories in geography provide a framework and discourse for exploring citizenship as a spatial process, one shaped by and repeatedly shaping socio-political contexts. Spatial process including the drawing of boundaries, the regulation of bodies, and socially constructed senses of place shape both how people come to belong and how people act as citizens. The spatial dimensions of citizenship involve processes of belonging and civic activities. Civics scholars note the need to expand how people think about civic activities or engagement. Women’s March is the ultimate embodiment and building of collective sense of citizenship and engagement. Citizenship too often appears as the disciplinary domain of political science or sociology.
