Stigma and Intersectionality in Ageing: with Prof. Vikki McCall (Stirling University)

In this episode of Equality in Housing, hosts Gareth Young (UK Centre for Housing Evidence) and Pedro Cameron (Tenants Information Service) are joined by Professor Vikki McCall from the University of Stirling. Vikki shares insights from the Intersectional Stigma of Place-based Ageing (ISPA) project, a groundbreaking five-year study funded by the Economic and Social Research Council.

We explore the barriers older and disabled people face in housing and communities, from place-based stigma to the lack of accessible, well-designed home adaptations. Vikki discusses the power of co-production, with over 140 community peer researchers gathering real-life experiences to shape more inclusive policies. We also hear about the Inclusive Living Alliance, a coalition working to create practical, stigma-free housing solutions that benefit everyone.

Tune in for a thought-provoking discussion on why housing plays a crucial role in ageing well, and how better design, policy, and collaboration can create more inclusive communities for all.

● The ISPA project page can be found here.

● You can read more about Vikki’s ‘Designing homes for healthy cognitive ageing’ here.

● Invisible Creations were discussed as a new way of thinking about the visual impacts of home adaptations to help increase their uptake and reduce stigma.
