March 3, 2021 @ 5:30 pm - 7:00 pm PST
Where are My People? Hispanic and Latinx in Architecture with Dr. Kendall A. Nicholson
AIALA Committee: Justice Equity Diversity Inclusion
A voices of J.E.D.I series
LiA (Latinos in Architecture) seeks to promote and empower the Latino design community in Los Angeles through outreach, professional development, education, and community engagement; and to become an open resource for architects, the architectural profession and the community at large about issues impacting the Latino community.
Our first 2021 session will focus on where we are today, by discussing the findings of the Where are My People? Hispanic and Latinx in Architecture survey with the author Kendall A. Nicholson.
About the Survey Series:
Where Are My People? is a research series that investigates how architecture interacts with race and how the nation’s often ignored systems and histories perpetuate the problem of racial inequity. Hispanic and Latinx in Architecture chronicles both societal and discipline specific metrics in an effort to highlight the experiences of Hispanic and Latinx designers, architects and educators. This lecture will share research conducted and recommend opportunities for the profession to move the needle on Hispanic and Latinx leadership and licensure.
