• In this introduction to the edited volume, we argue that citizenship is a “momentum concept” (Hoffman 2004, Citizenship Beyond the State, Sage, Thousand Oaks) which encompasses the potential to build up spaces for equality and inclusion. We aim to further develop the concept of inclusive citizenship, which is a common working base at the Leibniz Research Center for Inclusive Citizenship (CINC) at Leibniz University Hannover. Gender and race are two pivotal dimensions of inequality which have received public attention in recent years, for example, within debates on racist police violence in the USA and Europe, and in the care crisis, not only during the COVID-19 pandemic. In this introduction, we elaborate on our understanding of acts of inclusive citizenship, linking debates on migration and racism in Germany with concepts from citizenship studies, explain the focus on gender and race of this collaborative publication project and embed it in the field of intersectionality research. We also present the four fields of discussion of inclusive citizenship in this volume: care, institutional racism, language and the digital sphere.
