Conference: Gentrification and Displacement: What Can We Do About It?

士绅化与流离失所：我们能做些什么？是20多年来第一次关于中产阶级化研究的国际会议。会议计划促进了对如何预测中产阶级化以及如何测量和减轻流离失所的理解。它为学者提供了一个难得的机会，让他们与在日常工作中面临中产阶级化的活动家和实践者接触。受邀的演讲者、小组成员和会议组织者代表了不同的职业阶段、学科、方法和理论方向以及人口统计学群体。会议为未来十年的高档化研究指明了前进的道路，并为全球面临住房危机的决策者提供了建议。士绅化与流离失所：我们能做些什么？这是一个充满活力的两天半的活动，包括三个主题演讲，两个全体小组讨论，18个专题会议，指导机会，海报展示，书籍展示，纪录片放映，以及一个上午的实地考察/实地考察社区组织，重点关注中产阶级化。该项目探讨了如何识别、衡量和预测中产阶级化，以及如何最好地评估和减轻中产阶级化导致的流离失所的后果。智力产出包括一份白皮书；期刊特刊；校刊：由大学出版社出版的编辑过的书；还有一份关于避免和减轻中产阶级化的社区实践报告。会议塑造和推进了与会学者的研究，并将该领域带入一个包容、公平的方向，包括来自不同学科、职业阶段、方法和理论传统以及全球的观点。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

Gentrification and Displacement: What Can We Do About It? is the first international conference on gentrification studies in over 20 years. The conference program advances understandings of how to predict gentrification and how to measure and mitigate displacement. It provides a rare opportunity for scholars to engage with activists and practitioners who face gentrification on the ground in their day-to-day work. Invited speakers, panelists, and session organizers represent a diversity of career stages, disciplines, methodological and theoretical orientations, and demographic groups. The conference charts a path forward for the next decade of gentrification scholarship and provides recommendations to decision-makers facing housing crises around the globe.Gentrification and Displacement: What Can We Do About It? is a dynamic two-and-a-half-day event, that includes three keynote speakers, two plenary panel discussions, 18 topical sessions, mentorship opportunities, poster displays, a book display, a documentary film screening, and a morning of site visits/field trips to community-based organizations focused on gentrification. The program interrogates questions about how to identify, measure, and predict gentrification, and about how best to assess and mitigate the consequences of gentrification-induced displacement. Intellectual outputs include a white paper; a special journal issue; an edited volume published with a university press; and a community practices report on avoiding and mitigating gentrification. The conference shapes and advances the research of the individual scholars who attend, and takes the field in an inclusive, equitable direction that includes perspectives from across disciplines, career stages, methodological and theoretical traditions, and from around the globe.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
