Towards housing justice: From research to action
This IOS-funded workshop is framed by the problematic of the global housing crisis, and the multiple challenges this context brings to the majority of the world’s urban population living in precarious conditions. It seeks to stimulate interaction and learning between research, policy and practice across geographical contexts on the topic of housing justice, moving from research to action, and to strengthen networks on housing justice. Marginalized populations’ housing trajectories are contingent upon the multiple intersections of social and economic inequality that they experience, and influenced by wider trends of housing financialization, commodification, and socio-spatial segregation.

Through the workshop, we envision ways forward by collectively learning with bottom up-actors and their practices of claiming housing and land rights around the globe. Critical questions on new innovations and technologies surrounding affordable and adequate housing provision worldwide will also be discussed to bridge critical housing justice research with the goal of envisioning alternatives through the local appropriation of innovation.
Working towards a common goal on housing justice, we aim to further collaborations on housing justice and set an agenda for future research on international affordable housing. We highlight practices of movements on the ground, ongoing policy experiments and alternative housing models, and academic debates to better understand and grapple with this problematic.
The workshop on March 12th will be open to all, while the workshop on March 13th is for invited guests only.
