Last June, HOMInG’s Sara Bonfanti and Alejandro Miranda presented a paper (co-authored with Aurora Massa) at the “Etnografia e Ricerca Qualitativa” conference at the University of Bergamo. This was a methodological reflection on the comparative potential of their evolving HOMInG fieldwork. The presentation took place within a session on  “Comparing What? Conceptualising comparison in migraton and urban studies”, convened by Andrea Brighenti and Nick Harney.
