Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Our 2023 conference Futures of Housing Justice explored the theme of housing justice and equity, examining current issues in housing and what we can do to make access to housing in the future fairer for all. This Special Issue brings together papers which explore the foundations and future of housing justice creating a platform to examine our traditional understandings of housing problems, and to explore, promote and mobilise around effective and progressive solutions.
This Special Issue will explore the theme of housing justice and equity. It will bring together papers from a mix of early career researchers and academics, from a range of disciplines, which explore individuals’ experiences of homelessness and housing precarity, as well as methodological approaches to research, that often lie at the margins of housing scholarship. In particular, the papers will all focus on experiences resulting from the intersection of needs—whether these be multiple disadvantages, trauma, neurodiversity, and/or migration, for example—as well as the experiences of those at the intersection of housing and related services. International in scope, the Special Issue will broaden and deepen understanding of how experiences at the margins affect housing and broader human rights, service needs and the impact of competing ideologies of homelessness on the nature of services available to them. It will also put forward a range of novel approaches to analysing, evaluating, and solutions for tackling housing injustices.
