HOUSING JUSTICE

In the face of market-led and state-organized housing precarity, we insist upon housing justice. Thinking from Los Angeles, and other key global nodes of insurgency, our research and scholarship reveals the actors, systems, and institutions that perpetuate housing exploitation. Working with tenant movements and unhoused communities, we aim to dismantle police-property relations and reconstruct housing as a reparative public good.

GLOBAL RESEARCH NETWORK

The Housing Justice in Unequal Cities Research Coordination Network, funded by the National Science Foundation, brings together university and movement-based scholars who study key geographies of housing precarity in order to examine established and emergent practices of housing justice. In doing so, it consolidates the study of housing justice under conditions of global racial capitalism as a field of inquiry.
