Workshop ‘A View from Housing – Contributions of Housing Research to Social and Behavioural Theory’

We welcome contributions based on findings of theory-relevant empirical research or on theoretical work on housing issues. Contributions are welcome from any field of housing research: economics, political science, psychology, geography, urban planning, philosophy etc, as well as from interdisciplinary researchers who do not identify with any of these fields.
Submit abstracts to Hannu Ruonavaara by 28 March. Decisions on abstract acceptance will be made by 5 April.
Organisers: Martin Lux (Critical Housing Analysis), Hannu Ruonavaara (Guest Editor, Critical Housing Analysis), Mark Stephens (ENHR WG on Comparative Housing Policy).

The Financialization of Social Housing Workshop
In this workshop the organisers aim to explore the emerging financialization forms of social housing. They will delve into the tensions between social housing as a common/public/social good and its status as a financial asset. Furthermore, they will examine the changing role of the state in adopting a financialized approach to delivering social housing.
Papers are welcomed that will address the following themes:
● How do different social and financial values and rationalities coexist and clash within existing and new financialized social housing arrangements?
● What are the different forms that financialized social housing is taking, across and within countries and welfare regimes
● Is a financialized approach to social housing delivery beneficial in terms of increasing the supply of social housing?
● What implications does a financialized approach to social housing have for the traditional understanding of public housing, the role and responsibility of the state in delivering social housing, and the overall tenant experience and well-being?
Abstract deadline: 19 February 2024. Send a 150-300 word abstract to the organizers of the workshop: Manuel B. Aalbers, Rory Hearne and Lidia Manzo and include a short bio (80-125 words of all authors.
Abstract acceptance date: end of February 2024.
The workshop is free of charge.
The organisers plan to submit a special issue proposal, most likely to one of the interdisciplinary housing journals in the field.

ENHR Annual conference: Making Housing Systems work: Evidence and Solutions
5-day conference including the New Housing Researchers Conference on 26 August and plenaries, workshops and fieldtrips.
Many European countries are facing greater demand for housing than predicted a few years ago and living in the existing stock is becoming increasingly expensive, partly due to poor insulation and high energy prices. Housing is hardly affordable anymore for young, low- and middle-income groups, especially in larger cities. Marginalization, segregation and affordability are therefore back on the political agenda.
More information and registration options you find on the conference website.
