HOUSING STUDIES ANNUAL CONFERENCE 2011 - HOUSING IN HARD TIMES: CLASS,
POVERTY AND SOCIAL EXCLUSION
UNIVERSITY OF YORK, WED 13TH-FRI 15TH APRIL 2011
The economic downturn and its consequences have resulted in hard times
for UK housing, as the crisis has moved through the housing market into
the wider social policy arena. This conference provides an opportunity
to reflect on research and policy analysis concerning the wider
implications of economic change, with a specific focus on concepts of
class, poverty and social exclusion. The event will interrogate the
impact of economic shifts on the most vulnerable members of society,
whatever their housing tenure. Plenary speakers from the housing
studies community and beyond will offer different perspectives on the
conference theme.
Confirmed speakers include:
- Professor Chris Allen, Manchester Metropolitan University
- Professor Ian Cole, Sheffield Hallam University
- Professor Paddy Gray, President, Chartered Institute of Housing
- Professor Chris Hamnett, King's College London
- Dr Gerry Mooney, Open University Scotland
- Dr Kirsteen Paton, University of Glasgow
- A representative from Shelter
Papers are welcome from academics and practitioners in housing and
related disciplines. A call for papers will be issued in the autumn of
2010.
