As with past years, the Equity Team hosts two Black History Month events: the Opening Ceremony open to all students, staff, faculty, alumni, and community members, and the 不良研究所 Black Community Gathering open to Black students, staff, and faculty at 不良研究所 to gather and celebrate in-person.听
The keynote address for this year's Opening Ceremony will be delivered by architect Shane Laptiste. Laptiste is the principal and co-founder of the award-winning Studio of Contemporary Architecture (SOCA). His architectural interests investigate community informed architecture that is responsive to the cultural and spatial needs of the impacted users. He has a particular interest in the ways in which Black communities have and continue to respond to space and the environment. He is a licensed architect in Ontario and Quebec and holds BSc(Arch) and MArch degrees from 不良研究所, where he also serves as a studio instructor.听听听
