Is home a closed-off and self-sufficient place, or can it be reimagined to be where we find our connections to others and the world?

By exploring home in relation to the figure of the stranger and public space, as well as with a focus on practices of dwelling and materialities, the authors of 'Reimagining Home in the 21st Century' demonstrate that thinking differently about home advances our understanding of belonging as a social process in which we are all implicated.
