MELISSA GARCÍA-LAMARCA

Housing and urban political economy

Postdoctoral researcher at the Barcelona Laboratory for Urban Environmental Justice and Sustainability, based at the Autonomous University of Barcelona, PhD in Geography from the University of Manchester. Melissa's research untangles the structures through which political economic processes generate urban inequalities and everyday lived housing injustices, as well as how collective urban struggles can disrupt this status quo and generate new alternatives. She is also an editorial collective member of the Radical Housing Journal, an open peer-reviewed journal publishing scholar-activist housing justice work across the world.
