Diversity in Design: The Time for Change is Now
Tuesday, June 13 @ 11:30 a.m. CDT
The Time For Change Is Now. This powerful panel examines the role design plays in solving social justice issues as well as the lack of diversity and representation in the profession. Novità Senior Vice President Joseph Cephas hosts the panel alongside black design industry leaders: Angelita Scott, Ph.D. (Director and Community Concept Lead for the WELL Building Standard and WELL Equity Lead at the International WELL Building Institute), Maya Bird-Murphy (founder, Chicago Mobile Makers), and Ronnie Belizaire, IIDA (Vice President, JLL). The discussion examines the problems facing African Americans both in society and in the design industry, including institutional racism and discrimination, reviews changes made in recent years, and focuses on a path toward equity.
