Race, Space and Architecture

At its core, is a recognition of the co-constitution of space and race within capitalist systems and cultural life. We engage with racial injustices and with spaces of resistance and refusal that are neither reduced to nor exhausted by racial capitalism.

Through the workshop we aim to raise questions on race-making and space-making in architecture schools and urban studies programs. We will draw on the place of design as a political and critical process, while pointing to the need for theory to engage with the designed world.

The workshop is organised by Suzanne Hall and Huda Tayob and provides a focused space for active discussion amongst all invited participants. As space is limited, Interested participants should please email h.tayob@lse.ac.uk with a short bio.

This workshop is co-hosted by the LSE Department of Sociology and UCL Institute of Advanced Studies and is funded by the Leverhulme Trust.
