To strengthen our collaboration, exchange ideas, and explore joint opportunities in Housing and Welfare-related issues, we will start a series of monthly lunch talks on Mondays, 12:00–13:30, beginning on 15 September. These lunch talks are open to anybody with an interest in housing and welfare – not just those within IUR.
First meeting (15/9):
We will begin with a round of short presentations where everyone shares their ongoing research. Together, we will create a visual map of our work using Padlet etc., to get a clear overview of current activities.
Second meeting (13/10):
Building on this mapping and our previous discussions within IUR and SBV, we will identify research gaps and shared interests that could lead to future project applications.
Third meeting (10/11):
We will be joined by Chero Eliassi, PhD in landscape architecture, KTH, who will present her newly published PhD thesis Diasporic Welfare Landscapes: Transformative Histories of the Million Program.
Future lunch talks:
The format will remain open and flexible. Some suggestions of what sessions can be used for are:
- Presenting ongoing work and receiving peer feedback
- Raising methodological or theoretical questions
- Discussing draft papers or project ideas
If you have any ideas or would like to present at one of the sessions, contact Martin Grander (martin.grander@mau.se).
