Choice is an Illusion for the Unhoused | Brittany Lewis | TEDxMinneapolis

In her TEDx talk, Dr. Brittany Lewis discusses the systemic injustices perpetuated by our social housing ecosystem through storytelling, disrupting the narrative that those experiencing houselessness simply failed to make good choices. She shares the real-lived stories of participants in her research studies who face embedded systemic issues that stem from issues created by an unrefined housing ecosystem. These often begin with a lack of access to safe, affordable, and dignified housing.Dr. Brittany Lewis is a well-respected community engaged qualitative scholar, thought leader, author, and professor known for bringing those most often locked out of local decision-making processes to the action research table. Brittany draws on over 15 years of engaged research and expertise in social justice issues such as group and gun violence and sex trafficking. As these typically begin with lack of access to safe, affordable, and dignified housing, Brittany explores the urgent need for policy and practice change efforts to address housing inequality and advocate for the rights of vulnerable communities. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
