During the conference on the first day, the papers by Emma Jackson and Kirsteen Paton emphasised not just the remaining centrality of class, but how it is manifested through the importance, and specifics, of places
This emphasis on space was retained in papers examining ethnicity and discourses of threat, risk, citizenship and belonging, including the cases of Muslims in France (Fabien Truong), Roma camps in Italy (Isabella Clough Marinaro) and advanced marginality in contemporary housing processes in England (David Robinson) as well as Loïc Waquant’s own public lecture on the two faces of the ghetto
