AIA| 2x8 Presents: DISMANTLING SYSTEMIC RACISM

Event Date: Nov 19, 2020; Event City: Dismantling Systemic Racism in Pedagogy Committee: 2×8 Committee REGISTER HERE Inspired by the GSD’s interview series named: Dismantling Systemic Racism in Pedagogy and Practice: An Interview Series, the 2×8 committee is organizing an event to focus on the academic efforts to dismantle systemic racism.  Following the murder of George Floyd, the international protests and public outrage pushed many institutions to issue statements condemning racism and inequalities at large. While there is an understanding that many institutions are socially progressive, it is not always as clear how they shape their agendas be anti-racist and champion equality. DISMANTLING SYSTEMIC RACISM IN PEDAGOGY serves as a public forum for local architecture programs to share with their communities how they will contribute in the efforts to dismantle systemic racism. In this event moderated by Joshua Foster, NOMA, Assoc. AIA, nine architecture programs from community colleges, undergraduate and graduate programs, will share their plan to combat the various inequalities contributing to systemic racism. Students will have the opportunity to direct questions and concerns to a faculty member representing their institution.  Bradford Grant, professor at Howard University will be guest panelist to share his invaluable experience teaching at an HBCU after growing up in the California Bay area.
