Biography
Professor Nicholas Pleace is based in the School for Business and Society. His research interests centre on interdisciplinary, mixed method and comparative work, with a particular interest in homelessness nested within a wider concern with housing inequalities and social justice. He is also interested in the intersections between climate justice and social justice and spatially sorted inequalities, within a social geography framework.
Nicholas is currently Associate Dean of School for Research and Impact in the School for Business and Society. He was the Director of the Centre for Housing Policy from 2017-2024, University of York Research Champion for Justice and Equality (2019-2022) and Interdisciplinary Research Champion for the School of Business and Society in 2023. He has been a member of the European Observatory on Homelessness, operating under the auspices of FEANTSA, since 2010 and he is on the Editorial Boards of the European Journal of Homelessness, the International Journal of Housing Policy and the Journal of Social Distress and Homelessness.
