Dr. Vajdon Sohaili, Assistant Professor in the Division of Art History, is launching a new course exploring the history of architectural destruction in global crisis including war, climate change, and housing insecurity. Titled, Architecture and Crisis (AHIS 4270), the course is a culmination of Sohaili's ongoing research into the concept of "contemporary reconstruction."
To learn more about the ideas behind the course and the significance of this work in today's shifting geo-political landscape, fellow Art History faculty member and Division Chair, Dr. Karin Cope, sat down with Sohaili for a Q&A.
