This conference has been organized to address social justice from the perspective of design, emphasizing the importance of compassion in the design ethos, with the goal of recognizing the contributions of African descendants to the design field and, by so doing, to broaden the definition of the designer. A series of conversations including students, faculty, and invited guests will consider design at the scale of the building, neighborhood, city, region, and globe.

Lee, Bryan Mason, Mitch McEwen, Justin Garrett Moore, Liz Ogbu, Fred Opie, Euneika Rogers-Sipp, Deanna Van Buren, Camilo José Vergara, Amber N. Wiley, Craig L. Wilkins, and others.
