The Daniels Faculty will be one 12 Canadian schools of architecture participating in the Canadian Council of University Schools of Architecture's first-ever pan-Canada lecture series.

The series, titled "Global Perspectives," will consist of 12 lectures at schools of architecture across Canada. All of the lectures will be open to the public and accessible online, via videoconferencing software. And they will tackle a common theme: diversity, as it relates to the architecture profession.

The lecture series will be split into to two parts: a fall 2020 edition and a winter 2021 edition. The Daniels Faculty's lecture will take place during the winter edition. (The Daniels Faculty has not yet set a date or topic for its pan-Canada lecture. Those details will be published on the Faculty's website as soon as they're available.)

“With the forced move online, CCUSA saw an opportunity to connect across the country and beyond," says Anne Bordeleau, CCUSA's chairperson. "I have high hopes that this first pan-Canada lecture series will set up a new trajectory for how the 12 schools of architecture across Canada can come together to engage in thought-provoking discussions.”

The lectures scheduled for the fall edition of Global Perspectives are:

September 14: Mariam Kamara (University of British Columbia, School of Architecture and Landscape Architecture)

September 23: Panel discussion with Albrerto de Salvatierra, Martina Jileckova, Vivian Ton, Wandile Mthiyane, and Craig Wilkins (University of Calgary; School of Architecture, Planning, and Landscape)

October 26: Joar Nango (Laurentian University, McEwen School of Architecture)

November 10: Syrus Marcus Ware, Tiffany Lethabo King, Sara Zewde (Waterloo University, School of Architecture)

November 19: Anupama Kundoo (Ryerson University, Department of Architectural Science)
