Making Sense of Socio-Spatial Inequality: A Qualitative Study of Geographical Proximity and Social Distance in Buenos Aires
My project explores the lived experience of socio-spatial inequality. Taking the case of Buenos Aires, it studies how social distance and geographical proximity affect people’s understandings of urban difference. Broadly speaking, my research is interested in how inequality shapes the way we see the world and interact with one another.
