WiSe 21/22: The People’s Home? Urban housing and housing policy in US-European comparison
Sebastian Kohl
Comments
The housing question is back on the political agenda, with housing shortages and affordability problems surging in major cities on both sides of the Atlantic. Traditionally, sociology, political economy and welfare studies have rather neglected the study of housing markets, despite the prominence of housing in households’ budgets, wealth and its interrelatedness with education, health, gender and race. This seminar addresses this oversight by introducing into the topic in three parts: a historical introduction into housing in Europe and the US across the last century, an introduction into the different housing (policy) regimes at the national level and an introduction into the study of city-level housing phenomena. The seminar invites students to make use of empirical data to study housing phenomena in a comparative way. The seminar should equip students with empirical knowledge on housing markets, their history and institutions as well as skills to analyze them and evaluate housing policies in current debates. close
