READING HOUSING AS AN URBAN INFRASTRUCTURE PATTERNING THE ‘WHORE STIGMA’
International Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.Abstract In this article, I conceptualize housing as an urban infrastructure enabling the reproduction, exploitation, circulation and emplacement of the ‘whore stigma’. To this end, I engage with infrastructural scholarship, particularly the emerging field of infrastructural housing studies, and situate it in dialogue with critical perspectives on ...

PRECARIZED AGEING‐IN‐PERIFERIA: Low‐Income Older Adults in a Transforming Neighbourhood
International Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.Abstract In this article we investigate how intersecting forms of precarity shape the everyday practices of ageing‐in‐place developed by low‐income older adults in Via Milano, a historically segregated yet rapidly transforming neighbourhood in Brescia, northern Italy. We draw on qualitative and ethnographic research to examine how diverse urban changes—
