About the network
Spawned at the meeting of the International Sociological Association in Barcelona in September 2008, this site is the meeting ground for an international and interdisciplinary network of scholars conducting social research on urban marginality who take a fieldwork approach (solo or in combination with historical and statistical methods); are alert to the symbolic dimension (as recorded, for instance, in the phenomenon of territorial stigmatisation) and to the multi-sided role of the state in the production of poverty; realise that urban relegation is not cut from the same cloth everywhere, in spite of homogenising discourses and transnational currents, yetshares similar causes and germane features across countries; and wish to engage in theoretically guided comparison or dialogue across national borders to avoid getting locked into the predefined parameters of their local debate and to guard against the subordination of scholarly to policy agendas.
