Convened by: Peggy Deamer (Yale University), Brian McGrath (Parsons The New School for Design), and Ioanna Theocharopoulou ( Parsons The New School for Design) 

Educators:
For fair exposure, opportunity, and support in our discipline, we want to share strategies for empowering ourselves and our women students.

To Change The Design Professions, We Need To Change What And How We Teach; We Need Success:
We will draw participants from colleges and schools of architecture throughout North America; we will have a keynote speaker from abroad to offer an international perspective. There will be three thematic sessions, each divided into two parts: a series of short presentations and a workshop to outline concrete strategies for the future.
