2026 CAB Conference Keynote’s Book Named to New York Times “10 Best Books of the Year”
Our 2026 Community, Accessibility, and Belonging (CAB) Conference keynote speaker, Dr. Brian Goldstone — an anthropologist, author, and activist — published an eye-opening book this year titled There Is No Place for Us: Working and Homeless in America.
The book follows five families in Atlanta as they fight to remain housed in a rapidly gentrifying and increasingly unequal city where even full-time work no longer guarantees stability.
Since its release, There Is No Place for Us has earned widespread acclaim and was recently named one of The New York Times’ 10 Best Books of the Year. In its review, the Times calls the book “a moving book. It is also appropriately enraging,” underscoring Goldstone’s argument that incremental solutions have failed to confront a crisis rooted in treating housing primarily as a commodity, one in which “the few who own it will invariably profit at the expense of the many who need it.”
The book is available through the UNH Library, and additional copies will be offered at the CAB Conference on March 27, 2026.
We look forward to welcoming Dr. Goldstone to campus to discuss his research on the American housing crisis and explore what meaningful action can look like as we confront one of the country’s most pressing systemic challenges.
