About this episode

This episode explores how housing reflects gendered roles and caregiving expectations across cultures and workplaces.

Across cultures and workplaces, there are gendered expectations. In particular, there are entrenched expectations around women and the role of caregiving. Dr Kate Raynor is joined by Chifley Research Institute’s Emma Dawson on this episode of Homes Not Houses to explore how housing reflects expectations about gendered roles and the geography of care giving and work. This season is proudly sponsored by the YWCA and Australians Investing in Women, whose support helped produce the show and our research.
