Commoning Housing<\/em> participated in a one-day workshop at the University of Glasgow entitled: \u2018Post-crisis urban alternatives: European perspectives on solidarity and political organisation in times of urban austerity\u2019 (4th May 2017), organised by Dr Ross Beveridge, Dr David Featherstone and Dr Neil Gray (University of Glasgow). The workshop focused on the practices, concepts and strategies of post-crisis urban alternatives across Europe, to \u201cconsider some of the different modalities through which opposition to the divisive spatial logics of austerity are being shaped, and explores diverse forms of actually existing urban alternatives being generated by left social\/political movements. Going beyond critical engagement with the political and policy apparatuses generating austerity \u2018from above\u2019, the workshop focuses on fine-grained readings and engagement with the emergence of practical and theoretical political possibilities and oppositional practices emerging \u2018from below\u2019. The workshop aims to understand the composition and potentialities of left urban social and political movements in a counter-hegemonic manner, broadly encompassing the articulation or disjunction between left parties, trade unions, social movements and diverse local struggles over spaces and sites of austerity\u201d. Dr Mara Ferreri\u2019s presentation discussed the potential and complexities of practices of housing commoning in Barcelona, and the emergence of solidarity across different tenures and between formal and informal housing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Commoning Housing<\/em> at the Association of American Geographers Annual Conference, Boston (April 2017)<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

As part of Commoning Housing<\/em> we organised the session \u2018Housing Commons and the Democratization of the Urban\u2019 (6th April 2017). The session sought to explore, theoretically and empirically, different conceptualisations of \u2018housing commons\u2019 as well as socially innovative responses and institutional arrangements around access to housing. We understood an expanded definition of \u2018housing commons\u2019 to include housing as a collectively shared material urban resource (cooperatives, Community Land Trusts and other tenures) but also as (immaterial) relations and collective practices that respond to emerging housing issues. Presentations included the following papers: \u201cSustaining or destroying housing commons? The complex interplay between government involvement and differentiated forms of commoning\u201d by Dr Nele Aernouts and Dr Michael Ryckewaert, from the Cosmopolis Centre for Urban Research \u2013 Vrije Universiteit Brussel, Belgium; \u201cNarratives of empowerment and insurgency: understanding participation in a Community Land Trust housing project\u201d  by Emma Griffin, University of the West of England, U.K.; \u201cHousing commoning between resistance and propositional action\u201d by Dr Mara Ferreri and \u201cHousing coproduction in Spain: radical democracy, social impact and scalability\u201d by Dr Marc Par\u00e9s, Institute of Government and Public Policy, UAB. We were fortunate to have as our session discussant Dr Amanda Huron, from the University of the District of Columbia, U.S.A., author of the book Carving out the Commons: Tenant Organizing and Housing Cooperatives in Washington, D.C.<\/em><\/a>, University of Minnesota Press (forthcoming in Spring 2018).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
