Join us on December 2, 2020 from 6:00–7:30PM EST for the next online discussion: Advancing Scholarship on Equity and Justice Across the Built Environment.

Moderated by Christine Theodoropoulos with panelist including: @andrzejzarzycki @norawendl @erichardson74 @sharonhaar, Manuel Cordero Alvarado, @gundulaproksch, @williamson_june, Victor Rubin, and @kan8g.

This online discussion examines ACSA’s contributions to the past decade of research and creative practice that advances scholarship on equity and justice in built environments. A panel of ACSA Research & Scholarship Committee members will present preliminary findings from its review of ACSA publications, activities, and a survey of ACSA members, followed by dialog among participants that address the following questions:

1. How has the ACSA and its members conducted and recognized scholarship that pertains to social justice in architecture?

2. What are common criteria and methods used to evaluate or recognize this work?

3. Are there gaps or blind spots that limit or compromise opportunities for meaningful impact that the ACSA can help to address?

Register today for one of the two interactive workshops on Designing an Assessment Program for short and comprehensive timelines.

The Oct 30 workshop is recommended for schools working on a short timeline, whose accreditation visits are within the next two years. The Nov 19 workshop will focus on developing an assessment process at schools with time to plan for a much richer and more comprehensive assessment protocol.

Founded in 1912 by 10 charter members, Association of Collegiate Schools of Architecture (ACSA) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit association of over 200 member schools in several categories. These include full membership for all accredited programs in the United States and government-sanctioned schools in Canada, candidate membership for schools seeking accreditation, and affiliate membership for schools for two-year and international programs. Through these schools, over 5,000 architecture faculty are represented. In addition, over 300 supporting members composed of architecture firms, product associations and individuals add to the breadth of interest and support of ACSA goals.
