This book presents a new approach to housing research, one that is
relevant to all the social sciences. Housing research is diverse
and operates across many disciplines, approaches and methods making
collaboration difficult. This book outlines a methodological
framework that enables researchers from many different fields to
collaborate in solving complex and seemingly intractable housing
problems. It shows how we can make progress in housing research and
deliver better housing outcomes through an integrated approach.
Drawing on the work of renowned Canadian methodologist,
philosopher, theologian and economist, Bernard Lonergan
(1904-1984), McNelis outlines a framework for collaborative
research: Functional Collaboration. This new form of collaboration
divides up the work of housing research into functional
specialties. These distinguish eight inter-related questions that
arise in the process of moving from the current housing situation
through to providing practical advice to decision-makers. To answer
each question a different method is required. Making progress in
housing is the result of finding new answers to this complete set
of eight inter-related questions. This approach to collaboration
opens up a new discourse on method in housing and social research
as well as new debates on progress and the nature of science.
