Joining the editorial team at Housing & Society is a rewarding, creative, and fulfilling experience where you get insight into contemporary research within the field. It will build your own networks and promote the research that you are passionate about. It is also a wonderful opportunity for those looking to gain further experience in academic publishing.

These are some of the further benefits of working with Housing and Society:

• You will be part of a successful journal that has a clear purpose, with a strong and growing community around it.
