Dear colleagues,
In the context of the ongoing global housing crisis, we (Elena Butti and I) organise a Paper Development Workshop titled “Housing, Illegality and Criminal Actors” on September 9 and 10, 2025, which will take place at the Geneva Graduate Institute, in collaboration with the ethnographic institute, emlyon business school.
Our ambition is to discuss and provide developmental feedback on ethnographic and qualitative papers exploring the entanglement of housing, illegal practices, and criminality through an interdisciplinary perspective (e.g., Anthropology, Sociology, Organization Studies, Urban studies).
The full CFP is available here: https://oce.em-lyon.com/housing-illegality/ . Deadline for abstracts is March 31st!
Best wishes
Guillaume Dumont
