About
Marwan Mohammed is a CNRS Research Fellow affiliated with the Center for Studies and Research on Globalizations (CENS) at Nantes University. His work bridges urban sociology and the social dynamics of neighborhood conflicts, with particular focus on French suburban contexts.
His research interests encompass:
- Urban Sociology and Neighborhood Dynamics

Mohammed's 2025 book 'Y a embrouille. Sociologie des rivalités de quartier' represents a significant contribution to understanding how localized conflicts emerge through cultural practices and territorial claims. His work reveals patterns where neighborhood rivalries intersect with sports culture, particularly in France's banlieues, demonstrating how micro-level tensions reflect broader societal divisions. The research employs immersive fieldwork to document conflict narratives from participants' perspectives.
As a CNRS researcher, Mohammed operates within France's national research infrastructure, contributing to social science discourse through publications and seminar presentations like the CENS Impromptus series. His position enables dedicated research time while maintaining academic connections through the Nantes University-affiliated CENS laboratory.
