Examining the social categorization of patients, this work documents the interactional production of exclusion at two emergency departments in Romania.

Roland Clark is a Reader in Modern European History at the University of Liverpool, a Senior Fellow with the Centre for Analysis of the Radical Right, and the Principal Investigator of an AHRC-funded project on European Fascist Movements.
