 que accueille Leah Goodridge\, boursière Fulbright et avocate au sein du p
 rojet sur le logement à Mobilization for Justice\, New York\, NY. Elle par
 lera de l'impact sur le logement sur la qualité de la vie des personnes et
  d'un cadre conceptuel proposant le logement comme droit.\n\nRésumé\n\n[En
  anglais seulement] The ability to have a home impacts almost all other ar
 eas in a person’s life. Studies have shown a link between the lack of adeq
 uate housing and diminished employment prospects\, education and health. D
 espite the importance of housing\, many cities across the globe envision h
 ousing as a commodity rather than a right. Thus\, income inequality and di
 scrimination drive displacement\, homelessness and racial segregation. Thi
 s lecture will discuss the conceptual framework of housing as a right. The
  lecturer will discuss the legal history of rights versus privileges\, and
  what housing as a right means for tenants (including access to homeless s
 helter\, greater tenant protections and universal access to free counsel f
 or low-income tenants).\n\nLa conférencière\n\n[En anglais seulement] Leah
