Wellbeing & Tenure - Dr James Gregory

Dr James Gregory joins Stephen and Hannah to discuss the concept of wellbeing and the relationship between wellbeing and housing tenure. Owner-occupiers, private tenants, and social tenants experience different levels of wellbeing and contentment in relation to their homes. Why might that be, and how can the differences be explained? What is making it difficult for people in all tenures to sustain a stable and satisfying sense of home?
Our discussion is based around ideas and research findings from James's excellent and highly recommended book:
Gregory, J, (2022) Social Housing, Wellbeing and Welfare.
James first trained as a political philosopher at the London School of Economics, before moving into think-tank work, starting at the Fabian Society. It was here that he developed a long-standing interest in housing and urban development, ultimately leading to nearly two decades of empirical research experience. He has maintained an active engagement with the concepts and principles of political and moral philosophy, and often applies these to contemporary social policy issues. Over the last few years, the focus of James's work has been the relationship between housing, social policy, and wellbeing. His current research continues this theme, whilst also exploring the wider circumstances of the Millennial generation, compared to Baby Boomers and Generation Z.
Reading recommendations from James:
- For a shorter account of the politics of homeownership in Britain, I recommend my own paper, on Property Owning Democracy: Gregory, J., 2016. How not to be an egalitarian: The politics of homeownership and property-owning democracy. International Journal of Housing Policy, 16(3), pp.337-356.
- For a wider discussion of ownership and ideology, it is worth looking at Richard Ronald: Ronald, R., 2008. The ideology of home ownership: Homeowner societies and the role of housing. Springer.
- For ‘live’ discussion of housing policy and politics, I recommend Jules Birch’s blog: https://julesbirch.com/
