Tensions in Young Adult Housing Programs
While young adult homelessness impacts nearly one in ten young adults in the United States, limited work has explored the implementation of housing programs which support young adults. In this paper, we describe research on two case examples of housing programs for young adults in the United States: systematic program observations from Marsha and Marian's Neighbors, a shared housing program in the Mid‐Atlantic region, and resident interviews from…
It’s Home for now’
Not often implemented with emerging adults (18 – 25 years), permanent supportive housing (PSH) is an intervention which aims to support transitions from chronic housing insecurity. Ontological security theory (OST) -- a sense of being whole and alive on a continuous spectrum – serves as a lens to understand this transition. Through longitudinal surveys using semi-structured interview questions, emerging adults living in PSH ( N = 28) in western C…
Sense of community among young adults before and after moving into Permanent Supportive Housing
What do recently housed young people imagine for the future of third places? Using game‐based inquiry to (re)imagine affirming, youth‐centered third places
Third places—public and community settings like parks and libraries—are theorized to serve as sources of social connection, community, and play. Yet, young people who hold marginalized identities, such as those experiencing homelessness and housing instability, often endure discrimination in third place settings. This study used game‐based inquiry to partner with recently housed young people who have experienced chronic housing instability ( N = …
How mutual aid proliferation developed solidarity and sense of collective responsibility in the early months of Covid‐19
Although mutual aid organizing is a social movement practice long sustained by queer/trans people, immigrants, people of color, and disability communities, among other communities pushed to the margins of society, with the emergence of the COVID‐19 pandemic, and subsequent government failures in addressing unmet needs, mutual aid proliferated into new (and more socially privileged) communities in the United States and across the world. Amidst thi…
A message board from the future
Creating Ecosystems of Care Through Mutual Aid
As COVID-19 (Coronavirus Disease) spread in the United States in Spring 2020, conventional safety nets were overwhelmed and unable to meet widespread and growing needs. Mutual aid practices proliferated as an essential form of resource provision and community care, including exchanges of food, financial assistance, and social connection. Our qualitative study interviewed 25 individuals engaged in mutual aid in Colorado, USA to investigate the per…
Is Space Expansion the Road to Dystopia
This review essay contrasts two of the most notable recent contributions to literature on space and society: Daniel Deudney's Dark Skies (2020) and Brian Patrick Green's Space Ethics (2022). The Green volume is a course textbook, geared to giving students an overview of some of the key ethical issues concerning space and how the arguments on these matters are shaping up. Its aim is to provide an overview rather than a specific line of argument. D…
Understanding Young People’s Navigation of Housing Barriers Through a White Supremacy Lens
Like a weight off my shoulders”
The aim of this study is to explore how young people experiencing homelessness or housing instability experience participating in peer support from paid peer support specialists with shared lived experiences. The present study used participatory qualitative methods, specifically a photovoice project with young people ( N = 8) experiencing homelessness or housing instability, to understand their experiences of being in a relationship with a peer s…
Technologies of the Anthropocene
Rather than a levelling-down of the human to the standing of a biological machine, technologies of the Anthropocene have tended towards sensibilities which level-up a variety of non-humans. In simpler terms, these technologies (such as AI, robotics and the technologies of space exploration) have tended to promote new animistic sensibilities. However, it is important to avoid any assumption that sensibilities entail ontological commitments. In thi…
How do peer support workers value self‐directed growth over conventional change goals among young people experiencing homelessness
The aim of this study is to explore how peer support workers (individuals with similar lived experiences employed to provide support) conceptualize change work with young people experiencing homelessness. The present study used participatory qualitative methods, including semistructured interviews and journaling with peer support workers and program supervisors and administrators, to understand how peers understand change work with young people e…
Values and Beliefs Underlying Mutual Aid
Objective: Mutual aid has been a longstanding practice among communities who experience short-term crises (such as natural and human-made disasters) as well as long-term crises (such as systemic marginalization and poverty). It has proliferated as a widespread practice during the COVID-19 pandemic as a way for individuals and communities to share resources when government and nongovernmental services have failed. Our study aims to understand the …
Emergent media scan of digital mutual aid organizing during the Covid-19 pandemic
A rapid emergent media scan, describing 1) how mutual aid emerged as a response to COVID-19 and 2) how digital organizing was used for mutual aid, was conducted using a media bias framework to select media outlets, standardized search terms to identify relevant content, and content analysis to describe themes. A variety of digital tools (e.g., social media, crowdsourcing, video conferencing) were used to coordinate people/resources, raise funds, …
How peer support specialists uniquely initiate and build connection with young people experiencing homelessness
Love and Animals
This chapter presents a defense of the depth and appropriateness of love for and by nonhuman animals in the face of attempts to marginalize both. Objections to the very idea of animal love generally appeal to the dangers of anthropomorphism when the dangers of anthropocentrism are at least as great. Or they appeal to the dangers of sentimentality but, in doing so, require love for or by animals to meet standards that our love for one another ofte…

Animal Rescue as Civil Disobedience
Apparently illegal cases of animal rescue can be either open or covert: ‘open rescue’ is associated with organizations such as Animal Liberation Victoria and Animal Liberation New South Wales; ‘covert rescue’ is associated with the Animal Liberation Front. While the former seems to qualify non-controversially as civil disobedience I argue that (irrespective of other considerations such as effectiveness or advisability) at least some instances of …
Civility and Politicized Love in Gandhi
Gandhi presents a discourse of politicized love which draws heavily from a Christian conception of agape but which does not reduce to the latter. Such love is politicized through a requirement that the best kind of dissenting agents, satyagrahees (the agents called upon to engage in civil disobedience and noncooperation) are also called upon to love their enemies or, if they have none of the latter, at least their opponents. In his most famous po…

Love in dark times
After situating Iris Murdoch's promotion of openness to love within a broadly Platonic ethic, I outline a familiar suspicion about such openness in the context of grief, where the finding of a new and intimate love may seem inappropriate. By drawing upon her treatment of spiritual crisis and grief as parallel instances of the void, I respond to this suspicion by arguing that love in the context of spiritual crisis offers a way to resist the dange…
Love
Does love conquer all? Is it a many splendored thing? Or is it, as Schopenhauer thought, just nature s way of duping us into producing the next generation? What s good about being in the grip of a delusion that requires a ridiculously inflated estimation of the subject of our affections? How can the grasping, selfish, egocentric behaviour that intimate love brings be a subject worthy of poets? Philosopher Tony Milligan brings his keen analytical …

Lockean Puzzles
In analytic moral philosophy it is standard to use unrealistic puzzles to set up moral dilemmas of a sort that I will call Lockean Puzzles. This paper will try to pinpoint just what is and what is not problematic about their use as a teaching tool or component part of philosophical arguments. I will try to flesh out the claim that what may be lost sight of in such Lockean puzzling is the personal dimension of moral deliberation—for example, moral…
Murdochian humility
The following paper sets out a view of humility that is derived from Iris Murdoch but which differs from a strict Murdochian approach in two important respects. Firstly, any association with self-abnegation is removed; and secondly, the value of a limited form of pride (recognition pride) is affirmed. The paper is nevertheless strongly continuous with her work, in the sense that it builds upon her rejection of universalizability on the specific g…

Left At the Polls
Part of the steady erosion of traditional voting patterns in recent years has been the emergence of a small but significant far-left vote. In the past, socialist grouplcts have stood in elections with a cheerful disregard for the number of votes secured by their candidates. Such was the case with the illfated Workers' Revolutionary Party, polling 0 .1% at Dumbartonshire in February 1974, and the International Marxist Group who polled an earththud…

Mortality and the Other
The evasion of mortality is a concern for both Heidegger and contemporary Wittgensteinians. Nevertheless, their responses are significantly different. Heidegger treats death as in every instance “mine,” as the ownmost possibility of an individual. While this allows him to stress the personal nature of our mortality, it also leads him to direct attention away from what we can learn by considering the mortality of the other. This paper will contend…
