Dr Kesia Reeve BA, PhD
Principal 香蕉视频 Fellow
Summary
Dr Kesia Reeve has been a dedicated housing researcher for over 20 years. During this time she has delivered 50+ research projects funded by: government departments; national charities; local authorities; public sector health bodies; and housing associations. Kesia's research focuses on aspects of housing disadvantage, and marginalised populations who are susceptible to housing deprivation. She has a particular interest in exploring and exposing the gendered nature of housing disadvantage.
About
Kesia's research interests are broadly focused on population group and geographical housing disadvantage and inequalities. Much of her research activity has, therefore, focused on groups experiencing disadvantage in the housing market. She has a long history of researching the experiences and needs of marginalised groups including hidden homeless populations, rough sleepers, street sex workers, squatters and people with mental ill health. A key strand of Kesia's research and academic portfolio has focused on highlighting gendered aspects of disadvantage - based on projects about homeless women, mothers, and street sex workers amongst others.
She has been researching these issues for over 20 years, generating an extensive body of evidence for a wide range of audiences. Kesia has authored numerous policy orientated reports and articles in professional journals, as well as papers in peer-reviewed academic journals and edited books.
