Media & Citizenship: Transnational Television Cultures Reshaping Political Identities in the European Union.

Citizenship in the EU is no simple matter. All EU citizens are officially members of a nation state but many share family and languages beyond the Union. The Arabic speakers of the EU have access to over 300 satellite television channels. What is being watched, and how does that viewing contribute to Arabic speakers' understanding of their role in Europe? A consortium of 5 universities is conducting this research (2008 - 2011). The research project is funded by the European Commission.
