This course focusses public and private social constructs that conceptualise different domains of everyday life – from the interiority and privacy of our bodies and homes to the publicness of city streets and public space. Public and private spaces operate at a variety of scales that overlap and intersect, creating a mosaic of spaces and degrees of access.
