Lecture Series 2020-21: Inhabiting the Planet

We are in an unprecedented time of crises – environmental, health, racial and social inequality – that threaten human existence and are intimately linked to the built environment, urban fabric, infrastructure, and architecture. 

The Tulane School of Architecture's Fall 2020 - Spring 2021 Virtual Lecture Series discusses ways of inhabiting the planet from different perspectives, analyzing how architecture intersects with social, racial, environmental, economic, and health issues. Each event proposes a dialogue and examination of architecture with the participation of guest lecturers and respondents, including: Craig Barton Robin Bartram, Richard Campanella, Andy Horowitz, Margarita Jover, Neil Kleiman, Thomas A. LaVeist, Wendy Redfield, Rubén García Rubio, and Ann Yoachim.
