Over the past few months protests have erupted around the world responding to racial inequalities and mistreatment. This has been happening for centuries and has consciously and unconsciously seeped into society including governance, finance, and even education. Architectural education is no different. In this episode we speak with past and present Ryerson students, David, Tapenga, and Adneth who share their perspectives on being black in the architecture academy and industry.
