2010 HOUSING STUDIES ASSOCIATION CONFERENCE
New Directions for Housing? Housing in an Era of Change
University of York, 14-16 April 2010
The past decade has been one of tumultuous change in the housing field.
In 2010 we can expect the economic and political landscape, both in the
UK and elsewhere, to change significantly again. Dealing with the
aftermath of the 'credit crunch' and the first 'structural' recession in
the history of modern capitalism will mean working in a new era of
fiscal austerity. The politics of housing may need to adapt in response.
Reflecting on how the Housing profession has changed in the last decade
may equip us for the future. In terms of the challenges that remain and
the new ones ahead, we ask what can be done; what should be done? New
and imaginative responses are required. Hence, the 2010 Housing Studies
Association conference invites responses to this question: what
directions should housing take in the face of economic and political change?
Confirmed speakers include:
• Professor Duncan Maclennan
• Dr Becky Tunstall
• Dr Richard Ronald
• Dr Tim Leunig
The call for papers is now open. We invite papers covering any aspect of
housing studies, including policy and practice. We would particularly
welcome papers that address the conference theme of new directions in
the face of economic and political change.
Please send a short abstract (200 words) outlining your proposed paper
and giving full contact details for the corresponding author to:
