Housing, citizenship and urban form

a.k.a. the PhD

Following on from the Honours project's concerns with tenure and accessibility, the PhD looked into housing as a basic provision, a site from which action for sustainability can go forth, and as a fundamental component and determinant of urban form. It also investigated the interface and overlap between radical democracy and urban ecology as manifest and highlighted by the home.

This site provides a link (over there, on the left!) to some earlier papers I've written and some conference presentations. No, I have no 4-track demos.

Also, don't download any of this or my papers, chop it up some and then hand it in to me as an essay. That will get you thrown out of uni and get academics telling jokes about you at dinner parties for years to come. Research, yes. Plagiarise, meh.
