Issues of gender, diversity and the built environment have been catching a growing attention within the Academia during the last years. Nevertheless, this is still a field of knowledge in a huge need of both empirical and theoretical inputs. Questions on both gender and sexuality are interesting to assert in terms of differentiated access of gender groups to housing market, to the subsidiary or welfare system, to the housing loan market, etc. Other interesting questions are the challenges put by new household structures with a growing proportion of patchwork families’ and single parents’ households and women’s longer life expectancies for housing policy and housing market. Furthermore, papers addressing methodological and theoretical issues and papers on the implementation of the gender diversity perspective in academic teaching and the transfer of knowledge into practice are welcome.
All enquiries about the workshop should be sent to Irene Molina or Christiane Droste.
