<h3><span style="font-family: Arial">Conference theme: ‘Changing political, socioeconomic and institutional landscapes: What are the consequences for housing?</span>’</h3>
<p><b><span style="font-family: Arial">University of York, Wednesday 10th - Friday 12th April 2013</span></b></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial">Housing finds itself at the centre of unprecedented change in political, socioeconomic and institutional landscapes in light of impending welfare reform and the ongoing impacts of the economic downturn and austerity measures. Political expediency and ideological opportunity are imposing significant challenges for the way housing is conceptualised and produced. Furthermore, housing strategies are heading in new directions in different jurisdictions. The conference will provide a valuable opportunity to reflect on the implications of these and related issues for housing theory, provision and practice.</span></p>

<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial">Welfare reform and understandings of housing as a welfare good, including reflections on notions of entitlement</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial">Changing state/market relationships and the implications for the planning and delivery of housing</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial">The politics of housing</span></li>
