Evento final do Projeto “CUIDAR – Culturas de Resiliência de Desastres entre Crianças e Jovens”
22 e 23 de maio – Lisboa, Instituto de Ciências Sociais da Universidade de Lisboa
Neste evento irão ser apresentadas as principais conclusões do projeto a uma audiência internacional de decisores, profissionais e investigadores. Os participantes vão também poder discutir o principal resultado do projeto – um referencial para a gestão de catástrofes centrado nas crianças em contexto europeu, que irá ajudar todos aqueles que trabalham no campo das emergências a promover o envolvimento de crianças e jovens na redução do risco.
Crianças e jovens que integraram as atividades da CUIDAR em países parceiros irão participar ativamente durante o evento. Também teremos uma importante comunicação da Professora Lori Peek, Diretora do Centro de Catástrofes Naturais, da Universidade de Colorado-Boulder, EUA, e coautora, com Alice Fothergill, da obra “Children of Katrina”, um estudo longitudinal sobre a recuperação de crianças na sequência dessa catástrofe.
A participação na conferência é gratuita, mas os participantes devem inscrever-se no website do evento: http://cuidarfinale.ics.ulisboa.pt/registration/.
Paralelamente ao evento, estamos também a receber propostas de posters sobre projetos relacionados com a redução de risco de catástrofes, entendimentos sobre situações de catástrofe/emergência e/ou as perspectivas de crianças e jovens (prazo de 20 de março). Se quiser dar a conhecer um projeto sobre estes temas, apresente a sua proposta em: http://cuidarfinale.ics.ulisboa.pt/call-for-posters/

EASA 2018 CFP Panel 127: “Vulnerability and housing policies: anthropological insights across Europe”
CFP for the panel I co-organize along with Ana Luísa Micaelo (CRIA-IUL) and Giacomo Pozzi (Milan-Bicocca) for the EASA 2018, Stockholm Univeristy , August 14-18.
P127 Vulnerability and housing policies: anthropological insights across Europe: https://nomadit.co.uk/easa/easa2018/conferencesuite.php/panels/6669/List
Short abstract
We are looking for anthropological insights concerning housing vulnerability – centred on histories of eviction, displacement and resistance – in different European countries, with focus on the analytical debate about the capacity of housing policies to promote stability, mobility or settlement.
Long abstract
On one hand, as a symbolic, social and spatial phenomenon, housing vulnerability and eviction are particular forms of forced mobility loaded with great anthropological significance. On the other hand, different housing policies, implemented in tension between rights and contention, markets and families (houses as assets/homes), hold a privileged task in governing the population, by determining both mobility and settling processes.
In this sense, housing represents a material, political and symbolic crux in social and economic mobility, establishing the political boundaries of those who are seen as eligible buyers, (il)legitimate dwellers, natives or newcomers. Therefore, defining those who should “stay” and those who should “move”.
In this panel we are looking for anthropological insights concerning housing vulnerability – centred on histories of eviction, displacement and resistance – in different European countries, with focus on the analytical debate about the capacity of housing policies to promote stability, mobility or settlement. We are interested in addressing the different temporalities of such policies, whether in the short time of personal and family experiences or at the long-term of generations, neighbourhoods and cities, and other ties of social and local belonging. The focus is on the variety of European practices, yet other empirical and comparative data addressing these topics will be welcome.
