Climate Change is a Class Issue

Sarah Glynn is a writer and activist. She has worked as an architect in England and as a university lecturer in Scotland, and has researched issues around lower-income housing and around multiculturalism. She is now based in Strasbourg, where she works for the Kurdish Freedom Movement and writes a weekly column reviewing Kurdish news. Sarah played a central role in the establishment and running of the Scottish Unemployed Workers' Network (SUWN), which combined grassroots support with campaigning. She has also organised tenants' campaigns - especially against demolitions - and contributed to debates on housing policy. She was a housing activist before she was a housing academic, and the academic research fed into the activism. She has been active in campaigns for Palestinian rights and for Scottish independence. website: www.sarahglynn.net
