UQ-HAUS: Network for Housing and Urban Studies

UQ-HAUS:

The University of Queensland Housing and Urban Studies Network (otherwise known as UQ HAUS) brings together over 60 researchers from around UQ to better understand the key issues in contemporary urban and housing policy, practice and research.

Established in 2013, the network is uniquely interdisciplinary, incorporating expertise from the disciplines of architecture, criminology, economics, geography, media studies, planning, sociology and social work. Our work is theoretically informed and pays attention to questions of mobility, inequality, power, governance and change as they relate to urban and housing matters. But our research is also of significant community and policy interest and our researchers are critically engaged in public debates.

Our mission is threefold:

  1.  To foster research excellence among UQ’s housing and urban studies scholars by enhancing collaboration across disciplines; creating an intellectually stimulating environment to foster new ideas; and building the capacity of RHD students and early career researchers.
  2. To promote UQ’s expertise in urban and housing research in local national and international arenas. 
  3. To provide a vehicle for external engagement and knowledge transfer by fostering stronger linkages with governments, business and communities in order to address global and local housing and urban challenges.
