Women and Queer Histories Tour – In support of Homeless Oxfordshire
Make a donation to join a tour in support of Homeless Oxfordshire
Explore Oxford’s gendered geographies and the hidden stories of Oxford’s unknown trailblazers. This tour highlights the histories of women, people of color, and the LGBTQIA+ community through time.
This guided journey will take you back in time to highlight the many ways women have historically impacted the city of Oxford. We reveal the complexities of navigating university research and family life, uncover unknown trailblazers, and discuss queer experiences in the city. Together we will analyse how stories get made and forgotten in history, discuss gendered geographies, and challenge social expectations.
All our tours are led by university researchers who have completed our official Uncomfortable Oxford training programme. Our guides combine expert knowledge and performance, ensuring each tour is a fun and educational experience.
The “Her Way Home” Appeal
About the Her Way Home appeal
Women experiencing homelessness are often ‘hidden’ – forced into sofa surfing, sleeping in cars, or staying in abusive relationships to avoid the dangers of rough sleeping or further trauma in mixed-sex hostels. Homeless Oxfordshire’s Her Way Home campaign exists to provide safe, single-sex accommodation and specialist support to help women who’ve lived through significant trauma find safety, healing and hope.
