Hi all! 

My name is Courtney and I am currently pursuing Masters of Design in Strategic Foresight and Innovation at OCAD University in Toronto (it's a masters about problem-solving and human-centred design). For my final project, I am focusing on what we can learn from seniors who are defining their own retirement living standards. With co-housing and seniors/elders co-housing growing in popularity in the past 10 or 15 years, I am interested in what makes them an appealing alternative to conventional retirement options and if we can apply any of these principles to improve the options for more seniors. 

I'm just beginning my research, so I'll start by reviewing the email archive here. If this is something you are interested in or passionate about, I'd love to hear from you. Feel free to pass along any helpful resources or just say hi!

All the best, 

Courtney

Hi

I enjoyed living in two residential communities in Victoria, Australia, during the 1990s and have stayed for extended periods in two in the US. I research at the Centre for Urban Research (CUR) at RMIT University in Melbourne. I have just had a book published on eco-collaborative housing (which includes cohousing, along with ecovillages, politicised squats, eco-communes, shared houses and intentionally and communally shared land) — Small is Necessary: Shared Living on a Shared Planet (2018, Pluto Press, London) and have become active in the regenerating Cohousing Australia. I will be in Europe in September–October with activities related to a book that I have co-edited with François Schneider and that is coming out in the Routledge Environmental Humanities series Housing for Degrowth: Principles, Models, Challenges and Opportunities. It includes a chapter by me on eco-collaborative housing and degrowth. Many other contributors, including my co-editor, include cohousing as a strategy for achieving degrowth. You can read more about my research here.

I look forward to engagement within this group.

Thanks
