Hope Amidst Social Exclusion In Three Global Cities
Grant & Institutional Support
A collaborative grant by the Economic and Social Research Council, the Agence Nationale de la Recherche and the Indian Council of Social Science Research under the EU-India Platform for the Social Sciences and the Humanities made this project possible.
Hope amidst social exclusion in three global cities is a collaborative project focusing on hopes harboured by socially excluded people in London, Mumbai and Paris. It documents the ways in which socially excluded people express their hopes for a better future despite confronting multiple crises, including a global pandemic which coincided with, and hindered, fieldwork for this project.
