Jaime Rice’s Three Minute Thesis
Landing on Meaning: Monuments and Memorials in the Built Environment
Examining the historical and cultural perspective of memorials, monuments, and memory through an indigenous feminist lens. More specifically, how monuments and memorials that exist (or the lack of those that exist) symbolize discrimination or portray incomplete and inaccurate narratives, inexorably tied to racial, cultural, and economic inequity that has shaped—and continues to shape—our built environment and its collective memory.
