Dhaka’s slums represent a confluence of issues around poverty, urbanisation and social justice, all operating within an environment of serious climate change vulnerability. Energy provision sits at the core of each of these meta-issues. Mark’s PhD investigates causes of energy injustices in an urban poverty setting and undertakes an analysis of the effects of energy practices on residents in Dhaka’s slums. The case study settlement, Kallyanpur Pora Bostee, is an illegal squatter settlement in Dhaka. The threat of eviction, absence of land tenure, illegal electricity connections and solid fuel cooking practices all contribute to a rich setting for this study.

This seminar will provide an overview of the ARC Discovery Project on Indigenous people’s perceptions and experiences of hospitals and clinics. The discovery project examines the premise that the physical settings in healthcare facilities might be problematic for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people for social and cultural reasons. Higher rates of avoiding hospitals by Indigenous people—failure to attend appointments and discharge against medical advice are two measures—raise questions about the significance of architectural design in this multifactorial problem.
