Equity in Architectural Education
AIA Guides for Equitable Practice supplementary edition
Office and school cultures feed and reinforce each other, and long-standing traditions, viewpoints, and biases in academia are strong. Attaining an increase in diversity and creating a welcoming culture for all within academia accelerates progress towards equity, diversity, and inclusion (EDI) in each sector of the profession.
This supplementary edition asserts that organizational culture is the basis for achieving goals of EDI in each sector of the profession. Together, the guides and this supplement reflect the many ways in which EDI goals and means can be integrated into professional practice and the academy alike.
