Policy and practice fostering home, belonging and equality
I work with social sector organisations to understand how policies, services and systems shape people’s experiences.
I support people and organisations to learn and reflect on their work, and turn that understanding into practical change.

My work thinks about
01/
SYSTEMS
How do social systems label and treat people as temporary or conditional members? What are the effects of being treated in this way?
02/
PRACTICE
What conditions enable people to feel a sense of belonging and being at home? What role can civil society play in promoting and expanding belonging?
03/
PRACTICE
What is a caring society? How do we value care, and what does it mean to conceptualise care as work? How can sites of care be created and thrive?
04/
POLICY
How can policy across housing and homelessness, migration, welfare and health contribute to living a good life for all?
