HSA 2008 Conference Early Career Housing Scholars Stream








Text Box: Housing and Cohesion   The Housing Studies Association Annual Conference University of York, 2nd, 3rd and 4th April 2008



Early Career Housing Scholars Stream




The Housing Studies Association is committed to supporting the development of academics and practitioners working in the field of housing studies. We very much welcome the attendance of PhD students and researchers in the early stages of their careers at our conferences and we are keen to learn more about their work.

At the 2008 Housing Studies Association Conference, we intend to organise workshops dedicated to the research of early career housing scholars, working in any area of housing studies.

If you are a PhD student or an early career researcher who would welcome the opportunity to present your work to a supportive audience and to learn of the work of other scholars at a similar stage of their career, we would like to invite you to present a paper at our conference.

We are also intending, subject to final confirmation, to provide a discounted attendance fee for early career scholars giving a presentation.

If you wish to submit an abstract or to learn more about this conference stream, please e-mail John Flint at j.f.flint@shu.ac.uk
