Join us for the hundred-and-thirteenth session of LUMS Live: Exploring the Intersections of Gender, Energy and Space-Use.

April 25, 2022

Time:

4:00 pm

Facebook Live

The discussion will explore some of the impacts of current spatial configurations and household technologies on women’s domestic energy and space-use. It challenges current gender-neutral/binary approaches in housing and energy and calls for further socio-technical investigations at the intersections of gender, energy and space-use for improved equity and sustainability.

Drawing on interviews with middleclass homeowners in Lahore and Amman, Dr. Rihab Khalid unpacks some of the critical factors that result in women’s differential agencies, spatial affordances, and contingent flexibilities in managing domestic energy demand.

Hosted in collaboration with the Saida Waheed Gender Initiative (SWGI), the session will be moderated by Dr. Hadia Majid.
