All events in these series will be streamed live to the school's YouTube channel at 18:00 (UK time).
This year, The Bartlett’s International Lecture Series (ILS) will move away from ‘lecturing’ towards ‘conversing’. The series aims to upend academic conventions, undermine traditional knowledge-power relationships, and place a bright spotlight on issues of equality, equity, diversity and inclusion.
Students, tutors and the public are invited to join together virtually with a range of extraordinary and accomplished thinkers, practitioners and activists from within and around the architectural sphere. Each event will be curated and co-hosted by a student and tutor working together, aiming to create a culture of care and laughter, and to inspire and encourage its audience.
Every speaker will be invited to finish the sentence: “If I was an architecture student right now I’d...?”
All events will be streamed on the school's YouTube channel at 18:00 (UK time). No registration is necessary.
This event series was curated in collaboration with PeopleMatter.
