By placing gender at the centre of how to understand homelessness, the 11th South Australian Women’s & Gender Studies Annual Public Lecture – being held on Thursday 15 July – aims to highlight complexities and dynamics that are too often ignored when investigating the issue of homelessness.
The lecture will be delivered by Dr Juliet Watson, Deputy Director of the Unison Housing Research Lab within the Social and Global Studies Centre, RMIT University, and President of the Australian Women’s and Gender Studies Association.
Titled “Miscarrying in the Car: Centring Gendered Experiences of Homelessness”, the lecture will be held from 6pm to 8pm in Lecture Theatre 102 in the Napier Building, University of Adelaide, 259 North Tce, Adelaide.
The lecture is being presented by the Women’s & Gender Studies teaching and research units at the three SA universities, and chaired by Flinders University’s Associate Professor Barbara Baird. For 2021, it is being co-presented by the Don Dunstan Foundation and coincides with the biennial conference of the Australian Women’s & Gender Studies (AWGSA).
The lecture will be held face to face and will also be streamed online. Registrations for the free event must be obtained via Eventbrite.
This is a wheelchair accessible venue and Auslan interpreting will be provided (if Auslan interpreting is required, for planning purposes please contact barbara.baird@flinders.edu.au)
