Alasdair B R Stewart is currently working on his collaborative PhD on young people’s resilience to housing crisis. The collaborative partner is the Scottish Council for Single Homeless. The primary aim of the study is to uncover the factors behind young people, who have previously experienced homelessness or time in care, who maintain an independent tenancy over the course of a year and those who do not. Critical secondary aims from this is maintaining contact with those who leave their tenancy to learn where they move to as well as focusing on the young people’s own experience and opinions of independent living. Doing so should help in moving beyond a ‘landlord perspective’ of tenancy sustainment where success and failure of independent living is mapped onto whether the tenancy is maintained or not. Along with wider housing issues, his other areas of interest include employment relations, social class, sociological theory and the philosophy of social science.
