Architecture students across the country are denouncing systemic racism in academia. I spoke to Malika Yansaneh and Kelsey Mitchell , members of National Organization of Minority Architects Student (NOMAS) Chapter at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI), about the lack of diversity in architectural history, the NAAB statement on racial injustice, student life at Rensselaer as well as the pandemic. At the time of this recording, both women are pursuing a Bachelor of Architecture degree at RPI.
