Project: Gender, Fire Risk and Education in Informal and Tented Settlements (Lebanon)

Funded by the British Academy SRG scheme, this work (2018-2020) took a critical gender approach to fire safety education in informal and tented settlements in Lebanon.

This research tackled the issue of fire safety education in humanitarian settings and informal settlements. Focused on tented and urban camps in Lebanon, Helen’s background in education and critical pedagogy was central to interrogating knowledge, power and gender in the fire safety world. Creative and participatory methods were key to reimagining fire safety education and developing a framework for fire justice along with Laura.
