<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="line-height:115%;font-family:'Century Gothic',sans-serif">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.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="line-height:115%;font-family:'Century Gothic',sans-serif"><br></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="line-height:115%;font-family:'Century Gothic',sans-serif">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? </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="line-height:115%;font-family:'Century Gothic',sans-serif"><br></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="line-height:115%;font-family:'Century Gothic',sans-serif">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. </span></p>
