What does it mean to be at home? This simple question will be our starting point. We’ll examine various aspects of the home, including different models of domestic life, building practices, homemaking, domestic labor, and housing insecurity. Throughout we’ll consider how gender, class, race, sexuality, and disability have shaped and continue to shape widespread norms about what it means to be home, and explore how individuals and communities have challenged those norms and imagined alternative forms of daily life. As we engage with these questions and issues, you will also reflect on your own experiences of making a home for yourself at UVA.
