Description

Housing in Crisis: Examining the Processes and Politics of Policy Change. In response to the current housing crisis, this project aims to investigate how and why Australian housing policy has changed in the past five years. By conceptualising the housing crisis as the subject of ‘framing contests’ between different policy actors, and through a phased project design involving mixed methods, it will show who has influenced policy change and how. Expected outcomes include new knowledge about how crises can reshape policy and how the politics of housing is changing in contemporary Australian society, shared through diverse project outputs and engagement with policy makers and advocates. Expected benefits include more responsive and accountable housing policy and more effective advocacy for housing policy reform.. Scheme: Discovery Early Career Researcher Award.
