This panel, organized by the SAH Women in Architecture Affiliate Group (SAH WiA AG) and Women in Architecture (WIA) Committee of AIA Silicon Valley, which is a chapter of a national organization, The American Institute of Architects, considers the intersections of architectural research and practice to explore what historians, design professionals, and advocates can learn from one another as they shape histories and spaces that are more inclusive of women. From non-canonical subjects and research methods to new modes of presenting findings and acting on them, panelists will discuss their investigations and the academic, professional, and advocacy fora that can support expanded methods of applying history to design.
