Abstract
This paper represents a metaphorical pause for thought in the ongoing work of the Institute's Housing Across the Life Course project. Initially informed by a life course perspective, early findings led the authors to consider other theoretical frameworks as a means of understanding change in contemporary Australian housing careers. Here they discuss the insights that might be offered by theorists of 'risk society' . (Journal abstract)
