Homelessness Theory and Research: Future Directions?

Activity: Talk or presentationInvited talk

Description

In December 2016, the European Journal of Homelessness published a special edition, with a range of expert contributors reflecting on 10 years of research on homelessness in the EU, North America and Australia. The papers published in the special edition of the EJH provided a useful opportunity to take stock of theoretical and methodological developments in homelessness research. The purpose of this seminar is to build on these contributions by exploring the theoretical and methodological challenges for homelessness research over the next 20 years. New sources of data, from merged large scale administrative data sets to national longitudinal data and results from RCT in a number of countries are challenging settled assumptions about the nature of homelessness and the appropriate policy responses.
