Citizenship - Carol Vincent, Professor of Sociology of Education, explores the way in which children are being taught about \\u2018fundamental British values\\u2019 such as democracy and tolerance. Does this government imposed requirement too easily result in a celebration of reductionist symbols and stereotypes of Britishness - 'tea and the Queen'? Also, David Bartram, Associate Professor in the Department of Sociology at the University of Leicester, takes a critical look at a UK \\u2018citizenship process\\u2019 which subjects immigrants to a test designed to enhance their participation in British political and civic life. Does it work?
