The legal fiction of property law in the US

<p>In this podcast, Dr Jessie&nbsp;Speer Assistant Professor in Human Geography at the London School of Economics delves&nbsp;into&nbsp;exclusionary&nbsp;property law in the US,&nbsp;looking at&nbsp;the&nbsp;“legal&nbsp;fiction of&nbsp;property law”&nbsp;to&nbsp;explore&nbsp;the insidious&nbsp;nature&nbsp;of&nbsp;a&nbsp;framework that centers on the&nbsp;right to exclude.&nbsp;</p> <p>She&nbsp;also talks&nbsp;about&nbsp;her book project,&nbsp;stressing the urgent humanity crisis around&nbsp;demolitions&nbsp;and&nbsp;insufficient&nbsp;anti-homeless policies. Jessie&nbsp;uses&nbsp;intersectionality to&nbsp;approach the plurality of&nbsp;housing&nbsp;experiences&nbsp;and the critical importance of&nbsp;including&nbsp;voices that are&nbsp;too&nbsp;often&nbsp;overlooked&nbsp;in theory and policymaking.&nbsp;She leaves us with her take on what she sees as a&nbsp;potential way forward&nbsp;in achieving&nbsp;fairer urban environments.</p>
