Meet the CAFÉ Capital speakers:

Kendall A. Nicholson is Director of Research and Information at the Association of Collegiate Schools of Architecture (ACSA) @acsanational ), a licensed educator and architectural designer. An avid researcher, with degrees in architecture, real estate and education, his work explores the discipline of architecture through the lens of a social scientist. He has presented research internationally and his research interests surround equity, education, and curriculum within the discipline of architecture.

Nationally, his passion for equity and race relations manifests in his role as the lead researcher for the 2016 and 2018 Equity in Architecture Survey sponsored by AIA San Francisco and Equity by Design (EQxD @equityxdesign). He also volunteers as a member of the AIA’s Equity and the Future of Architecture board committee and as an at-large director for the AIA National Associate Committee leading a work group on Mentorship and Equity. Locally, Dr. Nicholson serves on the Career and Technical Education Advisory Committee for Chesterfield County Public Schools and has started a term on the AIA Richmond Board of Directors. Kendall A. Nicholson is a graduate of the University of Virginia School of Architecture (BS Arch '09) and a member of the A-School Young Alumni Council.

"Indigenous people in Australia suffer from significant disparities in health compared to their non-Indigenous peers. Policies to address it have had little success. ⁠
⁠
This article (coauthored with an Aboriginal doctor and academic, and an Elder in the community) argues hospitals, in particular, are alienating environments. It proposes a new Indigenous-led typology to mediate hospital care that is spatio-temporally and materially different."⁠
