I-SPHERE hosts a series of online seminars throughout the year with guest speakers from across the UK and beyond.
We are delighted to be running a joint seminar programme with The University of Edinburgh’s Centre for Homelessness and Inclusion Health (CHIH). This provides a forum for sharing and debating developments regarding the institutes’ mutual interests in understanding and redressing the extreme inequalities and injustices affecting some of society’s most marginalised populations.
