“…However, the emergent tenant movements-led by precarious tenants, always under-resourced, and strained-remain challenged by internal tension over ideology and tactics (Card 2018), emphasising the existential necessity to interrogate, understand, and uplift practices of care in all their complexity. We position this Symposium within the larger body of work that attempts to advance an analytic of housing justice and theorise the fundamental transformation of housing systems (Bradley 2014;Brenner et al 2011;Card 2022;Castells 1983;Dreier 1984;Fields 2015;Gonick 2020;Gray 2018;Haas and Heskin 1981;Heskin 1981;Holm 2021a;Huron 2018;Kropczynski and Nah 2011;Leavitt 1993;Levy et al 2017;Malson 2023;Marcuse 1999;Marcuse and Madden 2016;Mart ınez and Gil 2022;Mayer 1991;Parson 1987;Reyes et al 2022;Rodriguez 2021;Slater 2021;Tattersall and Iveson 2022;Vollmer 2020;Whitlow 2019). Among multiple issues, scholars have unpacked underlying dynamics like rent strikes (Castells 1983), tenant ideology (Heskin 1981), residential self-management (Katz and Mayer 1985;Leavitt andSaegert 1984, 1990), struggles against financialisation (Fields 2015), squatting (Mart ınez 2020), and mechanisms influencing policy (Card 2022).…”
