One of the challe nges is how to conduct research on historic resources of marginalized comm unities where the source material is seemingly difficult to access or none xistent\, including where the historic properties no longer exist. In her research and scholarship\, Dr. Tara A. Dudley engages with repressed untol d histories and works to demystify the process\, paths\, and methods of ma rginalized contributors to the built environment and reassert their histor ic agency. In her lecture for the spring 2022 Sciame lecture series\, she will share some of her experiences identifying and conducting research on free people of color in New Orleans and African American builders and heri tage sites in Texas over the last two decades.\n\n \;\nSPEAKER\nDr. Ta ra A. Dudley is an Assistant Professor in The University of Texas at Austi n School of Architecture\, where she teaches architectural history and int erior design courses. Her scholarship examines the contributions of Africa n American builders and architects to the American built environment\, foc using on the antebellum and Reconstruction eras in the US South. Her work reflects an interdisciplinary approach to the study of cultural resources with a focus on nineteenth-century American design\, African American arch itectural history\, historic preservation\, and material culture. She is t he author of Building Antebellum New Orleans: Free People of Color and The ir Influence (University of Texas Press\, 2021)\, winner of the Associatio n of American Publishers 2022 Prose Award in Architecture &\; Urban Pla nning. Her in-progress works include a biography on the life and work of A frican-American architect John Saunders Chase and a co-edited volume that addresses the past in the present in relation to slavery and oppression in the built environment.\n\nhttps://soa.utexas.edu/people/tara-dudley\n\nSu ggested Reading: "Before West Campus: Rediscovery and Preservation of Whea tville's West Campus\,” Platform (2019-2020): 8-11\n\nhttps://utpress.u texas.edu/books/dudley-building-antebellum-new-orleans\n\n \;\nSeries Theme -- Radical Black Space\nThe Spring 2022 Sciame Lecture series\, them ed Radical Black Space\, brings together architects\, preservationists\, p lanners\, artists\, and historians of color at a precipitous moment. The M ovement for Black Lives demands that Americans from all walks of life conf ront racism and its sordid impact on constructed environments\, and unders tand the rich\, vital tradition of Black resistance\, innovation\, and cre ativity. Speakers will touch on many questions: How do the places and thin gs made by African Americans disrupt the racial status quo in the United S tates? How is difference celebrated? How is equity imagined and achieved? What constitutes anti-racist spatial practice? Radical Black Space shows t hat the Black radical tradition is alive in art and architecture\, and tha t having a handle on Black history is essential to understanding the prese nt and shaping the future. Join us to find revolution in the everyday and to recognize the extraordinary places and objects that Black Americans mak e and the stories they tell about themselves. Radical Black Space is conve ned by Marta Gutman and Jerome Haferd.\nSciame Lecture Series with additio nal funding provided by the Bernard &\; Anne Spitzer School of Architec ture Fund.
