The Equity in Practice Fellowship
Transform the way you work, from the inside out.
Pathways to Equity (P2E) an interactive program designed to introduce you to methods for equity in practice, historical and systemic racism within the built environment, self-reflective, and community building practices, and strategies for community engagement.
CURRICULUM AT A GLANCE
Our curriculum is designed as a whole experience that builds on each learning module. We prioritize creating community throughout our time together. Sessions with guest facilitators include interactive workshops, self-reflective exercises and community building activities. They fall into the following modules:
HISTORICAL
AND SYSTEMIC CONTEXT
What are the histories of injustice and racism in architecture and design fields, and how can we play a role in changing those patterns?
EQUITABLE
DESIGN
METHODS
What are tactics and tools for a community-based practice? How can equity be both a means and an end?
SELF
REFLECTION

STRATEGIES

PROCESSES
