Description
The Center for WorkLife Law at the University of California Hastings College of the Law partnered with the AIA to conduct An Investigation into Bias in the Architecture Profession, a survey examining the workplace experiences of members in the profession of architecture. WorkLife Law will present survey data showing how the most common patterns of gender and racial bias impact architects and designers, and how individuals can act to reduce bias in their workplaces.
