29. Housing Inc. with Leilani Farha

In Vancouver, in Canada, and across the globe, housing has become a crisis of humanity—one engineered by dictators, presidents, and prime ministers, and perfected by the financial firms that turn homes into sites of extraction. This year’s Massey Lectures will be delivered by Leilani Farha, Global Director of an international human rights organization and former United Nations Special Rapporteur on the Right to Housing. In Housing Inc., and in this incisive conversation, Farha reckons with a crisis four decades in the making, and argues that the fight for home requires a different ideology in which every person counts. You’ll walk away invigorated to fight for housing justice, and humanity. 

Moderated by Jackie Wong.
