This course examines architecture through a set of lenses developed in Black studies, feminist technoscience theory, Black queer/trans studies. In asking questions around exclusion and belonging in the contemporary study of spaces, the course explores how constructs around race & gender have created interlocking forms of oppression that permeate the culture practice and discipline of architecture.

This seminar considers Afrofuturism through Paul Gilroy’s conceptual framework of the Black Atlantic. Both a cultural and geographic space, the Black Atlantic links diasporic traditions of the Black radical imagination from the West coast of Africa to the Caribbean and the Americas.
