Tuesday, June 4, 2024 on Zoom
10:00 a.m. – 2:15 p.m. (Central Daylight Time)

Registration is required. See below for details.

This workshop explores the challenges of teaching architectural history in a polarized world. It examines Palestine's rich spatial and environmental history across a long chronological sweep, which contributes to the collective architectural consciousness of a place. By necessity, the workshop considers these palimpsests of the material, the visual, the built, the imagined, and the affective as they contribute to common or contested historical narratives of a place by reflecting on a general atmosphere of silencing in the academy — as well as the demand placed by academic freedom and broader freedoms of speech, when enjoyed, not to be silent. The workshop engages participants in noting how teaching architectural history — in settings around the world and perhaps developing shared practices — may promote diverse consciousnesses of place, enriching and expanding perspectives through the critical construction of knowledge of architectural and environmental pasts.

Hosted by the Society of Architectural Historians, this workshop is organized by Soumya Dasgupta (University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign), Tania Gutiérrez-Monroy (University of British Columbia), Sben Korsh (University of Michigan, Ann Arbor), and Anooradha Iyer Siddiqi (Barnard College, Columbia University), and made possible through a grant from the Global Architectural History Teaching Collaborative.
