Cartographic analysis as spatial determinant for climate change adaptation in the Hunter River Estuary, Australia
This paper explores the hydrological history of the Hunter River and Estuary (Newcastle, Australia), to identify pathways for incorporating climate-sensitive adaptation approaches into urban development and planning. The research method utilises mapping as a methodological discovery tools to visually articulate the correlation of pre-colonial hydrological landscapes, the transformation of the estuary over two centuries, the areas identified as at…
Rethinking social networks in responding to Covid-19: The case of African migrants in Melbourne's Public Housing
The relationships and networks established within communities and stakeholders are acknowledged as enablers of disaster recovery. However, the government-imposed COVID-19 restrictions presented unique challenges to social capital, particularly for vulnerable groups like migrants and refugees who grappled with intensified stereotypes, exclusion, and discrimination. This research centres on the early COVID-19 response in Melbourne, Australia, durin…
Fostering recovery through stakeholders-community collaboration in post-earthquake recovery in Nepal
The roles of stakeholders from governmental and non-governmental sectors and groups within the communities have been praised as facilitators for effective response and recovery. However, various stakeholders involved in post-2015 Nepal Earthquakes' recovery initiatives reported challenges in understanding the changing community needs and developing trustable relationships with people resulting in low levels of community engagement. This study exa…
Re-thinking Elemental's incremental housing: Residential Satisfaction and resident-driven adaptations in Villa Verde, Chile
The Elemental architecture studio designed Villa Verde, one of the world's most iconic incremental housing projects. Villa Verde was initiated to house residents of the city of Constitución in southern Chile under a participative framework. The aim was to encourage the residents to complete the "other half" of the "core" houses supplied by the developer, self-managing a process of housing modification and extensions to suit their needs and aspira…
La migración forzada por violencia del Triángulo Norte de América Central a Cataluña: Explorando Procesos De Acogida Y Resiliencia
Los procesos de acogida y apoyo a la integración de las personas recién llegadas se han centrado en Cataluña en perfiles inequívocos de migración económica y reagrupación familiar, sin contemplar específicamente las necesidades y dinámicas vinculadas al refugio y el asilo. En este sentido, a partir de 2015, la atención mediática se ha centrado en el mejor de los casos en la acogida de personas refugiadas desde imaginarios relacionados con la guer…
Contested incrementalism: Elemental's Quinta Monroy settlement fifteen years on
Quinta Monroy is an award-winning co-designed settlement for 93 families on half a hectare of land at Iquique in northern Chile. Neighbors' complaints about the disorderly settlement peaked after the landowner's death and provoked untenured residents to seek government subsidies to redevelop the settlement. From 2003, a government social housing project was coordinated by the “Elemental” architecture firm with US$10,000 per household. With the re…
Beyond the freedom to build: Long-term outcomes of Elemental's incremental housing in Quinta Monroy
In 2003, the Chilean architecture firm Elemental began to revisit the idea of partially completed housing harnessing the productive capacities of the informal process within a more formal framework. The Quinta Monroy project in the northern Chilean city of Iquique was the first such project and involved the in-situ replacement of an informal settlement. The desire of residents was for a middle-class house that was beyond the scope of their budget…
Incremental housing: Harnessing informality at Villa Verde

This project is conceived within a social housing framework and designed as an affordable “half-house” to be incrementally extended by the owners. Design/methodology/approach This paper is based on research undertaken in Au…
Bittersweet Success. The Impact of Academic Achievement Among the Spanish Roma After a Decade of Roma Inclusion
Power interplay and newspaper digitization: Lessons from the Pengpai experiment
This study looks at Pengpai ( The Paper), the first news app launched in China by a traditional media organization, in order to understand how media practices in the context of contemporary China have shifted. The case of Pengpai, which was released in July 2014, is not only about economical and technological modernization but also relates to the re-negotiation of the relationship between the state, professionals and the public. Drawing on interv…
Assaig de reconstrucció d'un passat alimentari: Sabadell cap el canvi de segle
En la línia dels estudis antropològics sobre l'alimentació i atreta particularment per les escasses hipòtesis sobre el tema referents a medis urbans i complexes com el que vivim, em vaig plantejar una recerca sobre els factors de canvi i continuïtat en els estils alimentaris d'una població urbana, industrial i heterogènia tant en el seu origen com en la seva composició actual. La ciutat de Sabadell reunia perfectament els requisits necessaris per…
Exploring ADHD: An ethnography of disorder in early childhood, de Simon Bailey
En los últimos años, son múltiples los trabajos de investigación desde disciplinas como la Psicología, la Pedagogía y la Medicina sobre el Trastorno por Déficit de Atención e Hiperactividad, abreviado en las siglas TDAH. Más recientemente, en 2012, fuera de las publicaciones científicas, desde Der Spiegel, la mayor revista semanal de Europa, se publicó un reportaje sobre el aumento de diagnósticos de enfermedad mental (Mascolo, Müller, Brinkbäume…
Interrupted aspirations: Research and policy on Gitano education in a time of recession, in Spain
During the past decade, Gitano students’ school success and its cultural, social and emotional consequences have been largely unexplored, particularly in a new context: the deep economic crisis in Spain. This study reviews and analyses the evolution of the research production and the changing contexts of policy trends affecting the ‘Roma education issue’ as they have developed in Spain during the past decade (2004–2014). The authors take as a sta…
Gitans espagnols et immigrés roms en Espagne: Discours émancipatoire et nouvelles catégories de stratification dans la société et l’école
The Education of Immigrant Youth: Some Lessons From the U.S. and Spain
The United States and Spain have had radically different immigration histories, and they also have very different education systems and policies, yet there are similarities. Despite official efforts to welcome immigrant youth, both education systems operate, paradoxically, in ways that are unwelcoming, relegating immigrant youth to the margins of school life. The authors draw on their ongoing comparative ethnographic research in high schools in C…
