Jocelyn Chiew - Intersectionality in architecture

In this episode, our host Kimberley Hui is interviewing Jocelyn Chiew who is a registered architect working at the City of Melbourne as the Director of City Design. Kim and Jocelyn discuss intersectionality in architecture. Intersectionality is a way of examining how different forms of oppression overlap and interact to create complex experiences of discrimination. This can be done by understanding how one person's gender, race, ability, sexuality, age, class or immigration status makes their experience different to someone else's. Kim and Jocelyn talk about how this is being considered in the architecture profession and the built environment more broadly. Hearing Architecture is proudly sponsored by Brickworks.
