Today I give the keynote lecture during the “Financialization of Real Estate” workshop. My talk covers the historical traces of financialization in the built environment & the methodological undertakings needed to excavate the underlying political processes that led to this financialized landscape.

Article alert from the NORFACE-funded DEEPEN project!!
New article in Journal of European Public Policy by Juan J. Fernández, Karen M. Anderson and me on ‘What drives pension issue salience?’. Pension reforms of any type – retrenching or expanding – increase pension salience. Unpopular (retrenching) pension reforms do not!
