Speaking at the inaugural Spark Talks, convened by the UIC Chancellor, Nov. 17, 2023. Featured in UIC Today.
“The program was designed to encourage the sharing of ideas and inspire new opportunities for collaboration. Areas of common interest organically emerged, with faculty approaching a shared challenge from different perspectives. For example, the topic of fair and equitable housing was addressed by sociologist Maria Krysan, who studies the causes of segregation in Chicago; architect Alexander Eisenschmidt, who organized a summit on affordable housing and designed a prototype one-room house; and Allison Bethel, director of the Fair Housing Legal Clinic, which has represented Chicago residents for 30 years.”
