- Society & Culture
In this episode, we invite Annmarie Adams, professor and Stevenson Chair in the History and Philosophy of Science including Medicine, and Ipek Türeli, Assistant Professor and Canada Research Chair in Architecture at McGill University to join us. Professors Adams and Tureli discuss with us the built environment as a site of control, communicating to people how they should move and behave, and often effectively segregating people along lines of gender, race, and class. They brought up how the field of architecture is dominated by the idea of a lone (usually male) genius, and gave examples of women architects who promote the work of the collective over that of the individual.
