Homes Not Houses – Changing Hearts and Minds

May 28, 2026

Podcast

As with any social issue or call for reform, the greatest challenge is not finding evidence but changing minds.

A researcher can write a compelling report, but without the support of the community and its leaders, change is virtually impossible.

On this week’s episode of Homes Not Houses, Dr Kate Raynor and Professor Carolyn Whitzman will unpack how to influence people and make them care about gendered housing.

Why should we look at housing through the gendered lens? Why is this important and why should we care? And how do we use this to achieve change?

 

This season is proudly sponsored by the YWCA and Australians Investing in Women, whose support helped produce the show and our research.

Homes Not Houses was produced on the lands of the Wurundjeri-Woi Wurrung people of the Kulin nation, and we pay our respects to their elders past and present.
