The Equity & Diversity Task Force invites you to complete our survey about Equity & Diversity in school and the workplace.
GOAL: gathering information to gain a better understanding of the challenges that the students and AIAS Chapters are facing in regards to equity and diversity in school and the workplace so that we may bring awareness to the AIAS membership of these issues and provide resources to help them be an advocate for themselves and their education.
- Discuss issues of equity and diversity as they relate to architectural education, and communicate with the membership ways to increase and promote equitable and diverse AIAS Chapters, studio/work environments, buildings, individuals, teams, communities, and/or cities.
- Develop programming for Advocacy Month in conjunction with the Health and Wellness Task Force and the Resiliency Task Force.
- Explore the transparency of architectural education and the profession of architecture with regards to equity and diversity within the classroom and the workplace.
- Discuss ways to elevate equity and diversity within architectural education. Suggest areas for improvement to the AIAS Board of Directors to be developed and proposed to the NAAB prior to the 2019 Accreditation Review Forum.
The Equity & Diversity Task Force Survey
The Equity & Diversity Task Force was charged to discuss issues of equity and diversity as they relate to architectural education, and communicate with the membership ways to increase and promote equitable and diverse AIAS Chapters, studio/work environments, buildings, individuals, teams, communities, and/or cities. After several weeks of discussion and brainstorming, we have compiled a survey to help us reach our goal. The purpose of this survey is to gather information to gain a better understanding of the challenges that students and AIAS chapters are facing in regards to equity and diversity within the classroom and the workplace. We will use the results of this survey to explore the transparency of architectural education and the profession and raise awareness of these issues to you, the AIAS membership. We will then provide resources to help you become advocates for yourself and fellow students. Please take five minutes to answer this short survey. Results will be shared at the Advocacy Table at FORUM Seattle as well the AIAS website in the Spring.
From all of us on the Equity & Diversity Task Force,
Thank you
