*Housing – A Critical Perspective. Interdisciplinary Conference Call*



Together with the Sociology Department of Liverpool University and the
Architecture Department of Liverpool John Moores University,
Architecture_MPS is organising a two day interdisciplinary conference on
the theme of affordable housing provision. It is open to activists, artists
and academics of all disciplines and seeks to link the UK context with that
of other global locations.


Against a background of disparate policy interventions, resistances,
contradictions and conflict, the questions we are asking are multiple: How
are elite, privatised residential developments reshaping urban space? How
have recent policy interventions impacted on the social lives of
neighbourhoods? How have sociological studies sought to make sense of the
local contexts into which wider structural issues are inflected?


Submissions are welcome for Conference Presentations (20 minutes); Full
Written Papers (3,000 words); and a range of alternative proposals, such as
5 minute Pecha Kucha talks; short film screenings; photographic essays;
installations etc. You are invited to propose other options.
