BOXING
Laurie Taylor is joined by Kasia Boddy, author of Boxing: A Cultural history, and Professor Lo褩c Wacquant, sociologist, ethnographer and former apprentice boxer to consider the sport鈥檚 history in terms of race, class, and representation, from bare-knuckle fights to attempts to tame the Kray Twins.

URBAN OUTCASTS
Lo茂c Wacquant, Professor of sociology at the University of California-Berkeley, looks at the trend amongst academics and certain commentators for talking about 鈥済hettoisation鈥� in Europe鈥檚 cities, and questions the idea that our cities are becoming Americanised. He discusses his theory of 鈥榓dvanced marginality鈥�, symptoms of which, he says, can be found on both sides of the Atlantic.
