At ARIDO, we recognize that meaningful equity work extends far beyond a calendar moment. This month, we are focusing inward by engaging with ideas and histories that help us better understand how race, power, and design intersect.
π Here are a few of the books currently on our reading list:
β’ Decolonizing Design by Dr. Elizabeth "Dori" Tunstall
β’ Race and Modern Architecture by Irene Cheng, Charles L. Davis II, and Mabel O. Wilson
β’ Designing for Diversity by Kathryn H. Anthony
β’ Black & White: An Intimate Multicultural Perspective on "White Advantage" by Stephen Dorsey
We believe learning is a responsibility, not a request placed on others. This is one small step toward building deeper understanding that can inform how we show up as a profession and as an association.
If there are great books that have shaped your thinking, we welcome thoughtful recommendations. Let us know what's on your reading list this month! ππΎππΌππ»
