EARLY CAREER HOUSING SCHOLAR STREAM
At this year?s conference we will again be hosting a dedicated
workshop stream for Early Career Housing Scholars.
* Are you in the field of housing studies?
* Have you thought about presenting your work to a supportive audience?
* If so, we would like to invite you to present a paper or poster!
The HSA is committed to supporting the development of academics and
practitioners working in the field of housing studies. We welcome the
attendance of PhD students and researchers in the early stages of
their careers at our conferences and we are keen to learn more about
their work.
The Early Career Housing Scholars? stream is for postgraduate
researchers, and those in the early stages of research practice, or at
the start of an academic career.
This represents a fantastic opportunity to:
* Attend an academic conference
* Show-case your research interests, projects, or findings
* Gain confidence and experience at presenting your work
* Network with your peers and more established scholars in the
housing studies community
We invite contributions from Early Career researchers covering any
aspect of housing studies, including policy and practice. You can
submit an abstract to present a poster, a short paper, or a long paper.
* Posters will be displayed in areas where delegates congregate,
with presenters available to discuss and answer questions
* In a short paper presentation (5-10 mins) you can present your
research ideas, methods, analysis, literature, theory. The aim is to
discuss emerging issues related to your research in an informal,
supportive arena.
* In a long paper presentation (20-25 mins) you can present
substantive aspects of a research project, including findings, methods
and analysis processes, literature and theory.
