Be Involved

How can the architecture of our spaces be racist?

is seeking volunteers to help its architectural research team analyze whiteness and racialization of everyday spaces such as cafes, classrooms and college campuses. Volunteers will lead a member of our research team through an informal walk of spaces while discussing experiences of race, racism, and whiteness in those spaces. Walks are anticipated to take anywhere from 30 to 90 minutes. A $30 gift card will be provided to each volunteer.

The findings of this study will allow architects and space planners to better articulate ways spaces contribute to and perpetuate experiences of racism. Ultimately, we hope this study can contribute to the design and planning of more equitable and just forms of architecture. If you are interested in participating in this research, or if you have questions, please email us at dissentxdesign@colorado.edu.
