Conversations in Equity and Design 2021

This fall, the Walker Art Center, Dunwoody College of Technology, Minneapolis College, and MSP NOMA with AIA Minnesota join forces to launch an inaugural lecture series focusing on questions of ethics, equity, justice, and culture in relation to design practices and education. Each partner institution will host a virtual conversation with a different practitioner in design, architecture, or landscape architecture, sharing out their practices and allowing for critical conversation on the issues pertaining to their work. Participating speakers in this series were selected by students from Dunwoody and Minneapolis College, who researched current design practitioners working in the realm of equity. Throughout the academic semester, students will meet directly with these practitioners and will serve as touchstones for constructive discourse.
