The Margins of the State in the COVID-19 Pandemic: peripheric experiences of human (in)security in Brazil
This project aims to investigate how different peripheral communities in Brazil have experienced and responded to the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic given the ineffective state response and the extent to which the pandemic has enhanced existing problems in the Brazilian structural matrix, such as the extreme inequality and the marginalization (both material and symbolic) of the peripheries that have been placed in the margins of the state.
