Kenton Card is a researcher and advocate working with mixed-methods and multi-media to understand housing politics and policy in the United States and Germany. He is an urban planner, sociologist, filmmaker, and Postdoctoral Research Associate at the Initiative on Cities at Boston University (working with Loretta Lees). Kenton received the 2024 Janet Smith Emerging Activist Scholar Research Award from the Urban Affairs Association.

He recently completed his PhD at UCLA, where he taught in the Center for Community Engagement and Community Scholars/Collaborative (in 2018 and 2020) and in Germany as a guest instructor and researcher at Freie Universität Berlin and the WZB Berlin Social Science Center.

Kenton’s dissertation on The New Politics of Housing examined four processes across the United States and Germany between 2008-2023: struggles over ideas, struggles to collaboratively build new housing models, struggles to create offensive policy change, and struggles to influence new institutions in federal politics (see article in Housing Studies).

He is a former Managing Editor of Critical Planning Journal, recently co-edited a Special Issue on housing movements and care for Antipode: A Radical Journal of Geography, and one forthcoming on housing movements and racial capitalism for Environment Planning C.

Kenton’s films have won multiple awards and been featured by The Antipode Foundation (Geographies of Racial Capitalism with Ruth Wilson Gilmore) and Interface: a journal for and about social movements (forthcoming, Why Abolition Now?).

He has also published in Shelterforce, Jacobin, Progressive City, Architectural Theory Review, Design Philosophy Papers, and Horizonte: Zeitschrift für Architekturdiskurs, among other venues.
