Additionally, I put together a quick bibliography of resources brought up during the panel, by the discussants, audience members in the Q&A, and what have been submitted since in the survey. I use a google doc deliberately to ask for comments and further suggestions in this at least somewhat collaborative format. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1yNcXEKpHCzLdZyR4rjxo14crfXGAKQNp7BcN0Hpqz6s/edit?usp=sharing
I would be delighted if you could take a moment to take the post-event survey and let us know your thoughts. https://forms.gle/F2nBbMHpbfKhQ8v97
Finally, if you are interested in hearing more about the initiative and the behind-the-scenes, we will be presenting on this project at the Montreal conference.
Take care,

One last reminder! I hope to see some of you there...I hope you can join us!Hello colleagues,With apologies that the timing is not great vis-a-vis AASL conference, pleasejoin us for a panel discussion on decentering the canon in the architectural library. The library collects materials that have filtered through such canonizing forces as higher education and the publishing ecosystem. Can the library broaden the canon, or does it merely reinforce it? What critical interventions might we make to resist our canonizing tendencies, for today and or tomorrow?
Our panelists include expertise from a broad range of disciplines within architecture, including architectural history, museums, and practice:
Charles L. Davis II, Assistant Professor of Architecture History and Criticism, University at Buffalo, SUNY
Aneesha Dharwadker, Assistant Professor Illinois School of Architecture + Department of Landscape Architecture University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
Leila Anna Wahba, Deputy Director & Culture Curator, Architecture + Design Museum, Los Angeles
The panel will be moderated by Soumya Dasgupta, PhD. candidate in Architecture (History and Theory) in the Illinois School of Architecture, and Emilee Mathews, Head of Ricker Library of Architecture and Art, at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.
This event is hosted by the Ricker Library of Architecture and Art in partnership with the Illinois School of Architecture; funding is provided by the University of Illinois Library Innovation Fund and co-sponsored by the Humanities Research Institute.
