HSA Support and Endorsement of Activities and Events

The HSA recognises that supporting and endorsing events and activities that contribute to its aims is a primary function for the Association and that this represents an important and effective utilisation of our resources. The HSA is therefore committed to providing appropriate support and endorsement where possible to further its aims.
We welcome applications for support and endorsement, and we particularly encourage applications from early career researchers or for activities and events which support early career researchers.
Please note that lead applicants MUST be current members of the HSA and that any support provided is subject to terms and conditions. Only applications submitted through the official application form will be considered and this form must be completed in full.
Details of the HSA's policy and procedure for supporting and endorsing activities and how to apply are available on the HSA website www.york.ac.uk/inst/chp/hsa/

2011 HSA/HSCT (Housing Studies Charitable Trust) Bursary Award Winners Announced

The Housing Studies Association and the Housing Studies Charitable Trust are delighted to announce the recipients of their joint 2011 bursary awards. The bursaries were established to ensure that members of the housing studies community facing financial barriers were still able to attend and present their work at the Housing Studies Association annual conference and to subsequently submit their paper to the Housing Studies journal.

The four recipients of the 2011 bursaries are Patricia Campbell (University of Glasgow), Patricia Jones, Carol McKenzie and Martin Whiteford.

The Housing Studies Association would like to express its gratitude for the generous support provided by the Housing Studies Charitable Trust and its appreciation to all of the individuals who submitted bursary applications.

For further information please contact John Flint j.f.flint@shu.ac.uk
