About
This multimedia project explored the research of the School’s women faculty members through a series of conversations, events and a workshop series open to faculty and students, and celebrating the contribution by underrepresented female-identifying faculty and alumnae at Pratt Institute and beyond, as a way of restoring leading women to their respective disciplinary canons and achieving gender parity in the profession.
In launching this initiative recognizing the legacy of women educators at Pratt Institute, the School of Architecture organized a Dinner Party-inspired gathering with individualized place settings for 41 honored guests. The event took place on Monday, March 9 at the Caroline Ladd Pratt House.
