Metro Vancouver Zoning Project

I am the Principle Investigator (with Jens von Bergmann) of the CMHC-funded Metro Vancouver Zoning Project, attempting to gather, systematize, map, and make publicly accessible the zoning codes for the 21+ municipal governments of Metro Vancouver. Our project has been cited in multiple reports, including this one we co-authored for the province on the likely outcomes of zoning reform. Check the project website for more details!

The Sanctity of Home / Finders and Keepers / Residential Clutter Projects

Through the UBC Centre for Collaborative Research on Hoarding, I am working with UBC Clinical Psychology Professor Sheila Woody and a team of students and other faculty (including Christiana Bratiotis of Portland State University) to better understand severe cases of residential clutter, the relationship between clutter and hoarding disorder, outcomes for those with hoarding, and urban and related regulatory responses to clutter. Projects are being funded by both Hampton and SSHRC grants, with additional help from UBC HSS grants.

Making Housing Home: Place and Everyday Routines in Vancouver and Nunavut

As PI on this project, I worked with Prof. Frank Tester and a team of students on inventing and integrating new ways of tracing people’s activities through their days and linking the stability of their routines to housing.  My research team produced the booklet below (click to download), organizing the photos and their descriptions that many of our youth participants in Vancouver and Arviat used to tell us about their experiences of home, based upon a public exhibit with the same theme from 2015.

2016. At Home Looks Like…A photovoice project about housing, ‘at homeness’, and young people in Arviat, Nunavut an Vancouver, BC. Vancouver, BC: the Making Housing Home Project (PI: N. Lauster) & Karina Czyzewski.

Working with PhD Student Jing Zhao, the research has also incorporated a study of Chinese immigrants to Canada, attempting to better understand their experiences of place, resulting in a a BC Metropolis Working Paper and a paper in Social Problems. This project builds on SSHRC grant funding, and began with help from Hampton and Metropolis BC funding  (see more on project).
