Dr Jocelyne Fleming holds a PhD in Urban Studies from the University of Glasgow. Her thesis examined housing and homelessness in Canada and evaluated the country’s National Housing Strategy through a qualitative, lived-experience-led framework, exploring how federal policy narratives diverge from the realities faced by people experiencing housing insecurity.

Jocelyne is the Lead for Scottish Policy and Public Affairs and Policy Research at the Chartered Institute of Building. In this role, she produces policy research, advocates in the public interest on matters relating to the built environment, contributes to national media, and regularly speaks at conferences and events on housing, retrofit, skills, and the future of Scotland’s built environment.

Jocelyne’s work sits at the intersection of housing, homelessness, public policy, inequality, and the built environment. Her research and policy interests focus on the need for joined-up, system-wide policy approaches across housing, social security, health, education, and construction.
