HSA CONFERENCE 2013, Changing political, socioeconomic and institutional landscapes: What are the consequences for housing?
University of York, Wednesday 10th - Friday 12 April 2013
The call for papers for this conference’s Early Career Housing Researchers Stream is now open.
The Early Career Researcher stream, sponsored by the Joseph Rowntree Foundation, represents a vital part of the Housing Studies Association’s commitment to emerging research communities. It offers early career delegates a supportive forum in which to showcase their work and gain constructive feedback. This long standing stream is well attended by conference delegates.
The Early Career Researcher stream is open to:
• Masters students
• PhD students
• Newly qualified postdoctoral researchers
• Junior researchers working outside academia
• Other researchers who would benefit from the supportive environment provided by this stream
Early Career delegates will be also be invited to submit a written paper after the conference in order to be considered for the new Valerie Karn Memorial Prize.
The Early Career stream runs parallel to the main conference, which this year features a range of confirmed speakers from academia, policy and practice. Please visit the conference website for further programme information: http://www.york.ac.uk/chp/hsa/spring13/
Participants are invited to present initial plans for research, tentative findings, experiences of conducting research or final conclusions, allowing scholars to present their work no matter what stage they are at in their studies. To encourage this different opportunities to present are offered:
• A short presentation, which should be approximately 10 minutes in length with 5 minutes for questions. This slot is particularly suitable for scholars who may wish to present initial ideas, summarise their findings or be at an early stage of their studies.
• A long presentation, which offers scholars to discuss their ideas, plans or findings in greater depth. Presentations will be approximately 20 minutes in length 10 minutes for questions.
Submission
Papers are invited on a range of topics and from a range of disciplines, including (but not exclusive to) housing studies, social policy, planning, geography, criminology, economics, sociology and politics. Please see the conference website and flyer for further information: http://www.york.ac.uk/chp/hsa/spring13/

Please contact either of us if you have any queries.
