Our second episode is an interview with Dr. Matt Bowden of Technological University Dublin. Matt is a sociologist and criminologist, and a very good friend and supporter of the SAI. We were talking to him about his book Crime, Disorder and Symbolic Violence : Governing the Urban Periphery, which is the first of a type of episode that we plan on doing much more of, interviewing authors on sociology books that have analysed in long-form an aspect of Irish Society. Anyone who is interested in crime, urban development, youth and social class should get a lot from this episode.
As usual there is a reading list available to SAI members in the Members Section of our website, sociology.ie.
