A landmark volume about the importance of housing in social life.
In 1947, the president of the American Sociological Association,
Louis Wirth, argued for the importance of housing as a field of
sociological research. Now, seventy-five years later, the sociology
of housing has still not developed as a distinct subfield, leaving
efforts to understand housing’s place in society to other
disciplines, such as economics and urban planning. With this
volume, the editors and contributors solidify the importance of
housing studies within the discipline of sociology by tackling
topics like racial segregation, housing instability, the supply of
affordable housing, and the process of eviction. In doing so, they
showcase the very best traditions of sociology: they draw on
diverse methodologies, present unique field sites and data sources,
and foreground a range of theoretical approaches to elucidate the
relationships between contemporary housing, public policy, and key
social outcomes.  The Sociology of Housing is a
landmark volume that will be used by researchers and students alike
to define this growing subfield, map continued directions for
research, and center sociologists in interdisciplinary
conversations about housing. Â
