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

士绅化和流离失所：我们能做些什么？是20多年来第一次关于士绅化研究的国际会议。会议计划推进了对如何预测绅士化以及如何测量和缓解流离失所问题的理解。它为学者提供了一个难得的机会，让他们在日常工作中与在当地面临士绅化的活动家和从业者接触。特邀演讲者、小组成员和会议组织者代表了不同的职业阶段、学科、方法和理论取向以及人口统计群体。这次会议为下一个十年的绅士化学术规划了前进的道路，并为全球面临住房危机的决策者提供了建议。绅士化和流离失所：我们能做些什么？这是一个为期两天半的动态活动，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、图书展示、纪录片放映，以及上午对注重士绅化问题的社区组织的实地访问/实地考察。该计划询问如何识别、测量和预测绅士化，以及如何最好地评估和减轻绅士化引起的流离失所的后果。知识产出包括一份白皮书；一期特刊；一本由大学出版社出版的编辑卷；以及一份关于避免和减轻中产阶级化的社区实践报告。会议形成并推进了与会学者个人的研究，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、方法论和理论传统的视角，以及来自全球的视角。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势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.
