EARLY CAREER HOUSING RESEARCHERS’ NETWORK

ECHRN
EARLY CAREER HOUSING RESEARCHERS’ NETWORK
For early career researchers engaged in the study of housing, and its intersection with social theory, policy, urban design, inequality and change
: to promote the communication and dissemination of ideas, through a supportive medium, to early career housing researchers

The Early Career Housing Researchers’ Network (ECHRN) is an interdisciplinary, informal email network. Membership is open to all early career researchers (working in academia, public and private sectors) and PhD students, with research interests relating to housing and society.
The network operates as an independent email forum, linking members into key events and news in housing research. Members can also use the mailing list to ask each other for advice and support in conducting their research, and to promote events, publications and new research that they are involved in. Informal social events will be held, linked into housing conferences, to provide new researchers with an opportunity to meet face to face. The first such social event – the formal launch of the Network – will be at the Housing Studies Association Annual Conference (2 – 4 April 2008).
Early career researchers are encouraged to attend this important housing event, and present their work – further details are available at http://www.york.ac.uk/inst/chp/hsa/conf2008.htm There are reduced conference rates for those presenting in the ‘early career housing scholar’ stream – but please note the deadline for abstracts is the 20th January 2008. Hope to see you there!*
