Ill-timed Citizenship: public primary healthcare, Gitanos, and the (re)production of marginalization in crisis-striken institutions

For the ISRF project, I intend to conduct extra fieldwork to collect new material to elucidate how the COVID-19 crisis has intersected with pre-existing inequalities and contribute to consolidate ideologies that naturalize Romani marginality and take for granted structural harm, as well as investigating the new inequalities and forms of marginalization fostered by the pandemic. The project aims to transcend the homogeneous understanding of Roma marginalization in public institutions, amongst other things through a focus on the healthcare workers ordinary practices where discrimination (and sometimes its contestation) is crafted. By doing so it contributes to the research area of racism in everyday healthcare practices.
