Boston Architectural College hosts "BAC Talks" on
Join us at the inaugural BAC Talks Event on June 10, 2020!
Christine Cowart, founder of Cowart Trauma Informed Partnership, will provide a trauma-informed framework for this discussion.
The interdisciplinary panel, led by Boston Architectural College faculty, will address the need for a trauma-informed approach when designing K-12 schools, and explore the role of designers in providing safe and sustainable futures in educational environments. The discussion will include an exploration of offering design solutions to social inequities.
Join the full day-long program for other interesting topics, including:
Post-Colonial Communities in the Time of COVID-19
Designing Spaces that Draw Us Together in a Post-Pandemic World
Towards Resiliency: Learning from the Pandemic
