成人大片

Three 成人大片 Professors are participating in the 2022 Vinnies CEO Sleepout on the streets of Adelaide. They are three of the many leaders from business, community and government who are sleeping outside without shelter on one of the longest nights of the year.

This is the second CEO Sleepout for Noel Lindsay who will be joined by Emma Baker and Veronica Soebarto. They are raising money to help Vinnies provide vital support for homeless people.

Professor Lindsay is the Dean of Business, Adelaide Business School and Pro Vice Chancellor (Entrepreneurship) in the University.

鈥淭his sleepout offers me a small way in which I can contribute to a growing problem in society. Vinnies offers a focused approach that provides tangible outcomes to assist disadvantaged people access to a hot meal, warm bed, and other necessities,鈥� he says.

鈥淢y research interests focus on using collaborative and integrated social entrepreneurship initiatives to empower disadvantaged people and communities to help reduce barriers to safety and security, while facilitating the potential for sustainable longer term mainstream employment opportunities.鈥�

Professor Baker is Professor of Housing Research, and Director of the Australian Centre for Housing Research.

鈥淚鈥檓 a housing researcher, so I鈥檝e seen the value of a safe and affordable home. I鈥檝e also seen just how close any of us can be to homelessness,鈥� she says. 听

Professor Soebarto is the Director of Research in the School of Architecture and Built Environment, and she says the sleepout has prompted her to ask what else we collectively can do to help provide a proper living environment for those facing homelessness.

鈥淲e, researchers and educators, should work hand in hand with people in government and industry to solve this acute problem,鈥� she says.

More than 116,000 people in Australia don鈥檛 have a safe and secure place to live each night, including an increasing number of young people and older women. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people as well as recent migrants are disproportionately affected.
