Despite the centrality of home in our daily lives, we have very little conscious knowledge about why our homes are the way they are, how they work, or how to make them work for us. David Week wants to change this. His Melbourne Free University course, Understanding Your Home, helps to close that gap in our understanding, and to make participants active shapers of home and home life. WEEK 2: A HISTORY OF THE HOME examines the role of the home throughout history and across cultures, with a guest turn from Morayo Adeyemi.
