The event is funded by the ERC Inhabiting Radical Housing project (n. 851940).
It is also supported by DIST (Polytechnic and University of Turin), DINAMIA’CET-ISCTE (Lisbon University Institute), and the ICS (University of Lisbon).
What does it mean to think around habitation and its struggles, in a world where every inch of the possible seems to have been colonised by the extractive and expulsive makings of racial, financial capitalism? How to assemble, and engage with, radical modalities of use-value concerning the staples of habitation - addressing housing (in)justice, the expansion of computation, the emergent multiplicity of entities forming evercomplex ecologies - to reimagine a sense of the future in the midst of a planetary crisis?
We invite early-career scholars (5 years from PhD award) working in the field of urban studies and engaging with the above questions to apply for our joint summer school. 15 participants will be selected to attend both events in Turin and Lisbon, where they will engage in a series of conversations and writing workshops aimed at the production of one or more special issues in leading journals in the field.
