Project title
Tracing the history and production of territorial stigmatisation in the North of England
Project overview
This project seeks to understand the development of territorial stigmatisation from previous forms of ‘spatial smear’ to the ‘advanced marginality’ discussed by Wacquant (2008). Working at different scales of regional and microgeographies in the North of England, this research will attempt to understand the socioeconomic and spatial characteristics that lead to a place being stigmatised by both insiders and outsiders. In addition to tracing this process, a subsidiary component of this research will consider the management of living in a territorially stigmatised location.
Aims/objectives
- To critically examine the history and production of territorial stigmatisation from spatial smear to advanced marginality.
- To understand the role of territorial stigmatisation in the North of England.
- To analyse the responses and reproduction of stigma within stigmatised neighbourhoods.
- To provide an alternative empirical discourse to statistical surveys on marginalisation and stigma.
