IRS Spring Academy 2023

Investigating Space(s): Current Theoretical and Methodological Approaches: Spaces of Financialisation and De-Financialisation

The Leibniz Institute for Research on Society and Space (IRS) and the Georg Simmel Center for Metropolitan Studies at Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin (HU) invite doctoral students and junior researchers to submit applications on the topic “Spaces of Financialisation and De-Financialisation”

Join us for a stimulating event in Erkner and Berlin from 23 to 26 May 2023

The overarching goal of the IRS Spring Academy is to enable junior researchers from Political Sciences, Social Sciences, Geography, Planning and Economics to identify relevant research gaps, to encourage them to use a spatial perspective in their analyses and to learn from leading experts in the field about theoretical approaches and innovative methods for empirical work. Participants will have the opportunity to present their projects in paper pitch formats and to access leading experts for one-on-one consultations. We therefore cordially invite doctoral and early postdoctoral researchers to join us for an interesting programme to discuss their own research with internationally leading scholars and their peers.

The IRS Spring Academy combines well-tried and proven formats such as lectures and seminars with less common formats such as doing-research workshops, paper pitches, or academic speed dating. It offers various possibilities to exchange ideas, to discuss current concepts and methodological approaches, as well as to getting feedback on one’s own research projects from leading scholars in the field. A preliminary outline of the programme can be found below.

The Spring Academy will focus on these emerging challenges and contradictions. It is aimed in particular at PhD students and early-career researchers whose work centres on one or more of the following topics:

The key characteristics of financial investors as housing landlords, their management practices and business models.

The link between platform operations, digitalisation and housing stock restructuring.

The link between housing financialisation and short-term rental activities.

Real estate projects for the production of ecological, sustainable or the decarbonisation of housing.

Financialisation as a “lived” process: personal and household strategies in dealing with financialisation as an embodied process.

The implications of financialisation for socio-spatial inequalities (e.g. through gentrification, downgrading, or displacement) and gender inequalities.

The role of corporate landlords in influencing housing policies across state scales.
The diversity of local policies dealing with the implications of financialisation for local housing markets.

Social movement housing mobilisation, challenges to financialisation and strategies for housing de-financialisation.
