research-l Mailing List: Re: Welcoming 29 new subscribers to our Cohousing Research Network (CRN) listserv! 😊

[Robert D Francis (rfrancis]

Hello!

Thanks for including me. Hopefully this goes through, as I've had some issues with these emails getting caught up in spam.

I am Bob Francis, an Assistant Professor of Sociology at Whitworth University in Spokane, Washington (US). I am also a member of Haystack Heights Cohousing in Spokane, a new cohousing development that was completed within the last year. My broad research interests are poverty, work, and social class. 

Housing has long been an issue of interest to me, both personally and professionally. With my family's move into cohousing, I've considered what it might look like to turn some of my scholarly attention to it. In the short term, I'm trying to listen and learn. I'm also working on a study abroad course at my university that would examine housing issues here in Washington state and (hopefully) in Demark and The Netherlands. 

Best!
Bob

[we like to know that as it might serve in the projects we are working on!]

Also, if you have some interest in joining our steering committee, please let me know. If you have a topic or a project, you would like to present to us, we would be happy to learn more and will schedule a time for you to join one of our meetings.
