该奖项将支持10名美国参与者前往美国- 1996年春季在加州伯克利举行的法国和美国城市贫穷青年研究讲习班。组织者是加州大学伯克利分校的曼努埃尔·卡斯特和法国国家科学研究中心社会和政治科学组的米歇尔·希雷。 参与者包括知名研究人员和研究生。 讲习班讨论了目前关于先进社会大城市边缘化的原因、机制和后果的研究。 特别是，与会者将提交关于法国和美国大都市地区贫困青年的社会经验、轨迹和战略的论文。研讨会为美国和法国的社会科学家提供了一个机会，以评估当前的知识状况，并制定详细的合作研究议程。 与会者将讨论城市贫困青年与教育系统、城市劳动力市场和邻里活动的关系。 他们还将调查城市青年对边缘化、犯罪、街头暴力以及警察和刑事司法系统的反应。 该研讨会与国家科学基金会的人力资本倡议有关。 具体而言，它涉及两个分领域所包含的问题：（1）邻里和（2）贫困。研讨会的议程将确定基础研究的重要主题。

This award will support travel of 10 U.S. participants to a U.S.-France Workshop on studies of poor urban youth in France and the United States in Berkeley, California, Spring, 1996. The organizers are Manuel Castells, University of California, Berkeley and Michel Schiray of the Social and Political Sciences Group of the French National Center for Scientific Research. The participants include established researchers and graduate students. The workshop addresses current research on the causes, mechanisms and consequences of urban marginality in large cities of advanced societies. In particular, the participants will present papers on the social experiences, trajectories and strategies of poor youth in French and American metropolitan areas. The workshop provides an opportunity for U.S. and French social scientists to assess the current state of knowledge and to develop a detailed collaborative research agenda. The participants will discuss the relationship of poor urban youth to the educational system, to the urban labor market and to activities within the neighborhood. They will also investigate urban youth responses to marginalization, delinquency, street violence, and police and criminal justice systems. This workshop is related to the National Science Foundation's Human Capital Initiative. Specifically it addresses issues that are encompassed in two subfields: (1) Neighborhoods and (2) Poverty. The workshop's agenda will identify important topics for fundamental research.
