Issue 7.2
The Longue Durée of Housing Justice
This issue invites readers to consider housing justice as both a spatial and temporal project. Its contributors engage with different manifestations of this long struggle: from protest and legal documentation to solidarity networks, artistic practices, and collaborative research. Together, they show that justice is not a fixed achievement but a process continually remade across different sites and scales. Publishing work that ‘speaks from below’ remains vital to this collective effort. It keeps the realities of dispossession and inequality at the centre of scholarly and public debate, while opening space for alternative formulations of rights, ownership, and belonging. By foregrounding the intertwined spatial and temporal dimensions of these struggles, we aim to sustain a conversation about the endurance, creativity, and hope that define the long durée of housing justice.
