Call for papers
2009 ISA-RC21 Sao Paulo Conference
Session 2.
The Foreclosure Crisis and the Financial Crisis:
Local Configurations and Global Consequences - Manuel B. Aalbers, University of Amsterdam, The Nederlands.
I would like to remind you that the deadline for sending a paper proposal to RC21 Sao Paulo Conference is May 15.
The housing foreclosure crisis that is spreading throughout the US is not just affecting local real estate, but also financial markets around the globe. Increasingly, we are seeing the social and economic consequences of both crises, not just in communities with high default rates, but almost anywhere in the world. We welcome papers on a variety of topics, including but not limited to: foreclosure studies, homeownership, social and financial exclusion, political economy of the crisis, financial centres/global cities, and how the crisis affects places around the globe. We especially encourage papers that make the connection between the global crisis and a particular city or number of cities.
