The biennial Dissertation Colloquium brings together a select group of doctoral students from diverse institutional and disciplinary backgrounds working on dissertation topics related to the history, theory, and criticism of American architecture, urbanism, and landscape. 

The Buell Conference on the History of Architecture brings together scholars in architectural and urban history to discuss topics in architecture, urbanism, and modernity as broadly understood.

December 4-5, 2009

Prominent curators, writers, critics, and other cultural mediators from across North America were brought together to declare and discuss their agendas, positions, and responsibilities in relation to the ways in which contemporary architecture is discussed, framed, produced and evaluated in public.
