About

With housing inequality continuing to rise, what factors shape our understanding of home, ownership and belonging?

Home is more than a roof over our heads. It shapes our sense of security, identity, connection and opportunity. Yet for many Australians, secure and affordable housing is becoming increasingly out of reach.

Bringing together leading contemporary voices across housing law, policy, community leadership and advocacy, Who Deserves a Home? will explore some of the most pressing questions facing housing in Australia today.

Our expert panel will examine how experiences of home are shaped by legal, social and historical forces, including the enduring impacts of colonisation, and consider what a more just and equitable housing future could look like. Speakers include:

  • Alana Hunt, artist and writer
  • Professor Jessie Hohmann, UTS Faculty of Law
  • Professor Alan Morris, UTS Institute of Public Policy and Governance
