SUMMARY:Counter-Stories of Architectural Education and Racial Capitalism—A Conversation Between Maura Lucking and Jodi Melamed
DESCRIPTION:Date & TimeMarch 19\, 2026 (12:30-1:30 p.m.) \n\n\n\n\n\nLocationJim Shields Gallery of Architecture & Urbanism \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMaura Lucking is a historian of architectural modernism and the nineteenth century U.S. Her research studies design as the intersection of connected histories of race\, craft\, land\, and labor. \n\n\n\nHer forthcoming book\, Settler Campus: Design\, Free Labor\, and Land Reform in American Education\, provides an architectural history of the Land Grant college movement. In it\, she studies the relationship between government policy\, land use\, campus planning\, and design pedagogy at schools founded after the U.S. Civil War\, considering the role of design practices in Black and Native dispossession as well as the construction of new racial identities and settler colonial hierarchies. \n\n\n\nAnother interest is in sociotechnical and media histories of architectural representation\, including mechanical drawing & blueprinting\, architectural photography\, and mortgage and loan documents. New research considers state\, missionary\, and philanthropic approaches to housing and homebuilding projects in Indian country. \n\n\n\nThis scholarly work has been supported by the Winterthur Museum\, Huntington Library\, Graham Foundation\, Society for Architectural Historians\, and the Getty Research Institute and has appeared in Architectural Theory Review\, Faktur\, Grey Room\, the Getty Research Journal\, the Journal of Architectural Education\, and Thresholds. She was the recipient of the 2024 Brownlee Dissertation Award\, given by the Society of Architectural Historians to celebrate the most outstanding dissertation for that year in architectural history. \n\n\n\nJodi Melamed is professor of English and Race\, Ethnic\, and Indigenous Studies at Marquette University. For spring semester 2024 she served as the Norman Freehling Professor at the Institute for the Humanities at the University of Michigan. \n\n\n\nShe is the author of Represent and Destroy: Rationalizing Violence in the New Racial Capitalism (Minnesota UP\, 2011)\, co-editor of Economies of Dispossession: Indigeneity\, Race\, Capitalism (with Jodi A. Byrd\, Alyosha Goldstein\, and Chandan Reddy)\, a special issue of the journal Social Text. Her influential essay\, “Racial Capitalism\,” is among the most cited articles in the journal Critical Ethnic Studies. She has published widely on relational approaches to critical race and ethnic studies and gendered racial capitalism in widely cited essays including “Predatory Value: Economies of Dispossession and Disturbed Relationalities” (with Jodi A. Byrd\, Alyosha Goldstein\, and Chandan Reddy)\, “The Spirit of Neoliberalism: From Racial liberalism to neoliberal multiculturalism\,” “Using Liberal Rights to Enforce Racial Capitalism” (with Chandan Reddy) and “ Don’t Arrest Me\, Arrest the Police: Policing as the Street Administration of Colonial Racial Capitalism” (with Lisa Cacho). \n\n\n\nHer current book project\, Operationalizing Racial Capitalism: From its Command Powers to its Undoing (with Chandan Reddy) is under contract with Verso Books. For today’s liberatory movements\, it seeks to provide an understanding of how liberalism writ large functions as racial capitalist world-making praxis. Melamed and Reddy examine liberalism writ large not as a philosophy of freedom or just order\, but as theory and practice of command. They examine liberalism’s key praxis-concepts – nation-state\, (capitalist) law\, property\, security\, citizenship and more – as nodal points for command apparatuses that are key to colonial racial capitalist operability. The intention of their operational account is not to make racial capitalism seem implacable\, but to show that its doings are always threatened by protocols for making\, continuing\, and defending specific\, grounded living (Black\, Indigenous\, migrant and more). By refusing killability and authorizing mutual survival\, such “other doings” evade and break state-capital violence circuits. Though pushed below or outside of ‘politics’ \, as conventionally understood\, such doings together are powerful\, transformative forces.

SUMMARY:Mixing Realities\, A Consciousness of Mud
DESCRIPTION:Date & TimeMarch 5\, 2026 (12:30-1:30 p.m.) \n\n\n\n\n\nLocationArchitecture & Urban Planning Building\, Jim Shields Gallery of Architecture & Urbanism (AUP 146) \n\n\n\n\n\nWestern literature\, architecture and game forms tend to focus on the story of a person against the backdrop of the world—the Rückenfigur\, the third-person perspective\, first-person shooter\, the hero\, the ego\, the genius\, the master\, the architect\, the individual. In this figure-ground relation\, the nonhuman world is also banished to the background. As a reparative and realist (but non-redemptive) form\, Multiplayer Mixed Reality\, ‘Mixed Presence’ Game Simulations and Interactions create nonnormative timeframes and interconnected systems without a singular protagonist and moral. \n\n\n\nThe work of Leah Wulfman develops nonnormative uses and playful misuses of technology through embodied physicality. Much of this work is centered around play and performativity\, and pairs game engine interactions and digital twins with their most physical\, material and ludic counterparts–dirt\, weeds\, trash\, plastic and foam. These mixed reality ecologies and interactions find their foundations in disability\, trans and queer embodied practice and politics\, and operate as lenses to reconfigure and recontextualize space and time orientations in architectural discourse beyond the normative. \n\n\n\nAbout Leah Wulfman\n\n\n\nLeah Wulfman is a Carrier Bag architect\, educator\, game designer\, digital puppeteer\, and occasional writer. Trained as an architect\, Wulfman assembles hybrid virtual and physical spaces in order to prototype new relationships to technology and nature\, as well as challenge normative ideologies so often reinforced by technology and architecture. In addition to mixed reality installations that play with and emphasize the physical\, material basis of everything digital\, their research focuses on gamified environments\, interactions and materials. \n\n\n\nWulfman holds a Bachelors of Architecture degree from Carnegie Mellon University and a Masters of Arts in Fiction and Entertainment from SCI-Arc. They have taught at numerous institutions in the United States\, including ArtCenter’s Media Design Practices Graduate Program\, IDEAS Program at UCLA Architecture and Urban Design\, SCI-Arc\, The School of Architecture at Taliesin\, and most recently University of Michigan’s Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning\, where they have developed youth programming and mixed reality coursework. Their research and design work has been supported by numerous residencies and publications\, and has been shown as part of various exhibitions and festivals\, including the Buenos Aires Architecture Biennale\, After School\, The FiDi Arsenale\, Space Saloon Design and Build Festival\, Open Engagement\, VIA Festival for Electronic Art and Music\, A Queer Query\, /imagine: A Journey into the New Virtual\, and The Wrong Biennale for New Digital Art. They currently teach at the University of Utah as a Visiting Assistant Professor in the Division of Multi-Disciplinary Design (MDD). Wulfman is a recipient of the 2024 Architectural League Prize for Young Architects + Designers\, and the 2025 United States Artists (USA) Fellowship.

SUMMARY:Nocturnal Medicine: Tricks of the Trade
DESCRIPTION:Date & TimeFebruary 19\, 2026 (5:00-6:00 p.m.) \n\n\n\n\n\nLocationArchitecture & Urban Planning Building\, Jim Shields Gallery of Architecture & Urbanism (AUP 146) \n\n\n\n\n\nNocturnal Medicine operates on the cultural soul. Founded in 2021 by Larissa Belcic and Michelle Farang Shofet\, the trans-disciplinary collective has roots in landscape architecture\, visual art\, performance\, and nightlife. \n\n\n\nThe name “Nocturnal Medicine” speaks to the power of night. There is a potency in the dark hours that opens us up to shadowy ways of being\, seeing\, and feeling. Their work seduces through the senses and draws people into the heart of our wounded world. From that place\, the medicine occurs—the balm that moves us towards transformation. \n\n\n\nAmongst their body of work\, Nocturnal Medicine has created sanctuaries for ecological grief\, climate-aware seasonal rites\, chapels for extinction\, and raves for public healing. They have designed immersive social experiences across diverse platforms\, including in nightlife (Nowadays\, Honcho\, Dripping)\, cultural institutions (Lincoln Center\, Performance Space NY)\, and universities across the country (Yale\, UVA\, MIT\, Syracuse). Their work has been celebrated in The New York Times and CityLab as bringing a cutting-edge\, soul-centered approach to addressing the psycho-emotional impacts of climate crisis.

SUMMARY:Urban Edge Symposium: On Housing\, the single-family Lot and the American City
DESCRIPTION:Date & Time*Wednesday October 22-Friday\, October 25\, 2025 \n\n\n\n\n\nLocationJim Shields Gallery of Architecture & Urbanism \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe 2025-26 Urban Edge Symposium On Housing asks how we might re-consider the single-family typology for our contemporary housing needs and domestic desires. Participants are asked to respond to the image\, aesthetics\, values\, materials\, constituencies\, legalities\, and/or histories of the single-family lot and home in the American context to critically examine how we live today. The three-day event will act as a condensed lecture series\, with eight lectures in total responding to the symposium’s theme\, interspersed with roundtable discussions and workshops. There will be a small exhibit of the participants’ work that will act as a visual accompaniment to the lectures and discussions. \n\n\n\nOn Housing is led by Assistant Professor Sam Schuermann. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRow one: Ashley Bigham and Erik Herrmann\, Jennifer Bonner\, Mitch McEwen\, Laura Salazar-Altobelli and Pablo Sequero; Row two: Paul Andersen\, Adrienne Brown\, Jonathan Tate\, Jesus Vassallo.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSchedule\n\n\n\nAll events are free and open to the public. \n\n\n\nWednesday\, October 22\n\n\n\nTimeDescriptionLocation3:30 p.m.Welcome + Opening Round TableMarcus Commons4:00-5:00 p.m.Exhibit Talk\, Mellowes ResearchSam SchuermannJim Shields Gallery5:00 p.m.Opening ReceptionMarcus Commons\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThursday\, October 23\n\n\n\nTimeDescriptionLocation9:30Coffee and ConversationSARUP Student Lounge10 a.m.Presentation Session 1Ashley Bigham & Erik HerrmannLaura Salazar & Pablo SequeroMarcus Commons Join via Zoom12 p.m.Q+A\, Moderated Discussion12:30 p.m.Lunch1:30 p.m.Faculty Round Table\, Housing PedagodgiesPalmyra Geraki\, Lindsey Krug\, Brian Schermer\, Sam Schuermann\, Kyle Talbott\, Alex TimmerJim Shields Gallery3 p.m.Presentation Session 2Jesús VassalloPaul AndersonMarcus CommonsJoin via Zoom5 p.m.Q+A\, Moderated Discussion\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFriday\, October 24\n\n\n\nTimeDescriptionLocation9:30-10 a.m.Coffee with StudentsSARUP Student Lounge10 a.m.Presentation Session 3Mitch McEwenAdrienne BrownMarcus CommonsJoin via Zoom12 p.m.Q+A\, Moderated Discussion12:30 p.m.Lunch1:30 p.m.Community Partners Round Table and Student WorkshopTanya Fonseca\, DCD City Planning DirectorJim Shields Gallery3 p.m.Presentation Session 3Jennifer BonnerJonathan TateAUP 170Join via Zoom5 p.m.Q+A\, Round-table Discussion6 p.m.Closing Discussion\, Social Hour Jim Shields Gallery\n\n\n\n\n\nBiographies\n\n\n\n\nPaul AndersenIndependent Architecture\, DirectorUniversity of Illinois Chicago\, Clinical Associate Professor Biography\n\n\n\nAshley Bigham\, Erik HerrmannThe Ohio State University\, Associate ProfessorOutpost Office\, Co-DirectorThe Ohio State University\, Associate ProfessorOutpost Office\, Co-DirectorBiography\n\n\n\nJennifer BonnerMALL\, Founding PrincipalBiography\n\n\n\nAdrienne BrownUniversity of Chicago\, Departments of English and Race\, Diaspora and IndigeneityArts + Public Life\, Faculty DirectorBiography\n\n\n\nV.
