Architecture, Advocacy + Activism – guest lecture by Lori Brown

Lori Brown, FAIA, Distinguished Professor at Syracuse University, US and Chalmers Jubilee Professor 2024 

"The talk will discuss the various ways I have responded to pressing issues of our time. I will present an overview of key aspects of ongoing research, advocacy, and activism that have focused on topics from immigration and the border, equity within the built environment, to reproductive justice. All provide various opportunities to intersect with law, policy, and the built environment."

This event will also include an exhibition sneak peek by students of the Resistant Architecture course  (ACE385 Master 1).
