I am currently Professor of Economic and Political Geography at the DIST, Polytechnic of Turin, Italy, and Visiting Professor of Urban Studies at the Urban Institute, in Sheffield. With AbdouMaliq Simone, I founded and I co-direct the Beyond Inhabitation Lab. I am also one of the founder and Editor of the Radical Housing Journal, Corresponding Editor for Europe at IJURR and an Advisory Board member of the International Journal of Housing Policy.

I am a non-binary person (he/they), an anti-militarist, and I have been a vegetarian for the past 20 years. Eating fish and meat is wrong – worth stating that.

Research focus

My qualitative work offers a critical approach to home and homelessness, focusing on a relational reading of housing and habitation and on processes of dispossession in the contemporary urban. I currently direct a five-year European Research Council (ERC) project entitled ‘Inhabiting Radical Housing’, and a four-year Italian Ministry of Universities and Research project entitled ‘Precarious Housing in Eastern Europe’. The ERC project encompasses a large group of researchers, with whom I am interested in exploring the ways through which structural forms of violence related to ‘dwelling’ are opposed from within, in everyday life, by communities on a global scale. With the second project, I intend to continue my work on precarious housing in Eastern Europe, with a new focus on new housing and urban developments in the region.

Part of my work includes experimenting with collective and creative methodologies that seek to go beyond the traditional production of academic knowledge (an example of this is the Radical Housing Journal, as well as the collaborative documentary on anti-racist resistance for housing in Bucharest, which I have researched and directed). I am also involved in housing and anti-militarist activism, including against the violent European regime of border control, within and beyond Italy.

“Michele Lancione has given us a tremendous gift with this pathbreaking and brilliant book. […] The study of housing and homelessness will not be the same.” — Ananya Roy

“[T]his book offers a whole new perspective to imagine housing futures toward housing justice in which ‘housing precarity’ is not only a site for deprivation and relegation or a ‘problem to be fixed’ but can also perform a new politics of inhabitation.” — Raquel Rolnik
