Although Nightingale was trained as an historian, his work is also interesting for researchers from other fields in the social sciences. Carl has an interdisciplinary approach and tries to show how long term developments have impact on current societies.
In his seminal book Segregation: A Global History of Divided cities (2012), Carl Nightingale argues that Western expansion depended on global production of inequality and segregated urban spaces. Inequality and segregation are, therefore, serious challenges since the origin of urban settlements in world history. Nightingale shows that segregation should always be studied in their local and global context. Racial segregation can be traced to a certain point in global history as a product of transnational intellectual networks. The scale and intensity of segregation did not result in similar patterns globally. Local conditions mattered and each case needs to be assessed in its own context.
This masterclass invites PhDs and young scholars to reflect on how patterns of exclusion of all kinds – social, racial, religious, or economic – and of urban segregation do appear in their own work.
