HSA Conference 2015: key note and paper contributions
With this year’s HSA conference theme ‘Housing the Generations: Justice, Inequality and the Implications of Political Change’ we are delighted that several members of the Mind the (Housing) Wealth Gap project can make major contributions to the overall discussion of fairness between generations in relation to housing.
Dr Beverley Searle, PI of the project, kicks of the conference with a key note lecture on ‘Minding the housing wealth gap: Intergenerational justice and equity’. Over the course of the three days other members will present their main findings on homeownership and issues of family support (Moore, McKee, Soaita), intergenerational exchanges (Joseph, Rowlingson) and vulnerability (Soaita, McKee, Moore, Searle).
The HSA conference 2015 takes place at the University of York 8-10 April and further information can be obtained from the conference website.
