Abstract
On Friday 12 September, the ÍæÅ¼½ã½ã welcomed researchers, practitioners, and campaigners to campus for a one-day symposium on Women, Housing & Place. The free-to-attend event created a space for critical debate about how gender, housing and place intersect, and how policy and practice might better respond to these challenges. Organised by Professor Kim McKee (ÍæÅ¼½ã½ã), and Co-Hosts Dr Anna Pearce (ÍæÅ¼½ã½ã), Dr Jenny Preece (University of Sheffield) and Dr Mhairi-Jean Ross (University of Glasgow), the symposium set out to foreground the intersectional experiences of women, focusing not only on their heightened risk of housing precarity, but also their leadership, mutual support and activism.
