A talk by Patrick Lynn Rivers and Kai Wood Mah, co-founders and co-directors of Afield, a project that brings together design and social science research as a means to advance social architecture. Broadly interested in culture, politics and policy, and society, Rivers' interests are reflected in his book
Governing Hate and Race in the United States and South Africa. Associate professor of design at Laurentian University, Mah is an architect, design historian, and a co-investigator of Democratic Crèche, a project focused on the design and construction of early-childhood development centers.
