This collaborative research team will present their SSHRC funded project entitled "A Symposium and Webinar Series on Homelessness during Pregnancy,” and share the results of:

  1. a gender-based analysis + approach highlighting the distinct experiences of homelessness pregnant women and gender diverse people.
  2. an animation video created as a knowledge mobilization and advocacy tool to highlight the issue of homelessness during pregnancy.
  3. a one-day symposium held in Toronto in June 2023 that engaged a highly diverse audience focused on people’s lived experiences.
