Researcher and founder of Taking Space, a platform exploring women’s movement in cities.
Dr Sarah Ackland is an architect, researcher and founder of Taking Space, a platform exploring women’s movement in cities. She is a Nike After Dark Ambassador, bringing her research directly to Nike, and advises brands on women’s running. Her PhD and subsequent work examine the relationship between gender, the body and running, using feminist approaches to understand how women experience safety, fear and liberation in public space. Across practice, teaching and activism, her aim is the same: designing cities that make space for women.
