SUBMISSION OF MANUSCRIPTS
Original papers only will be considered. Manuscripts are accepted for peer review with the understanding that the same work has not been or will not be published nor is submitted elsewhere, and that all persons listed as authors have given their approval for the submission of the paper; further, that any person cited as a source of personal communications has approved such citation. Articles and any other material published in Housing, Theory and Society represent the opinion of the author(s) and should not be construed to reflect the opinions of the Editorial Board and the Publisher.

Papers are recommended, whenever possible, to be sent by email attachment or diskette.

Abstract. An abstract of approximately 150 words should be provided, together with up to 5 or 6 keywords.

Tables. Tables should be numbered consecutively with Arabic numerals. Each table should be typed on a separate sheet, with a reference line in the text for placement. Footnotes to tables should be lower-case, superscript, italic letters, a, b etc. and should appear double-spaced immediately below the table.
