SUMMARY:Spring 2025 Sciame Lecture Series: Dolores Hayden
DESCRIPTION:This lecture is part of the Spring 2025 Sciame Lecture Series "
 Still Making Space for Gender."\n\nDolores Hayden (she/her) writes about t
 he history and politics of American-built environments. Among her notable 
 books are Building Suburbia: Green Fields and Urban Growth\, 1820-2000 (Pa
 ntheon\, 2003) and Redesigning the American Dream (Norton\, 1984). In The 
 Power of Place: Urban Landscapes as Public History (MIT Press\, 1995) she 
 explores preservation and public art. The Grand Domestic Revolution (MIT P
 ress\, 1981) documents material feminists’ campaigns to reform housing\,
  neighborhoods\, and cities.\n\nBefore she retired from Yale as Professor 
 of Architecture\, Urbanism\, and American Studies in 2017\, Hayden taught 
 at MIT and UCLA. She's received fellowships from the Guggenheim Foundation
 \, the Rockefeller Foundation\, the Radcliffe Institute\, the American Cou
 ncil of Learned Societies\, and the Center for Advanced Study in the Behav
 ioral Sciences at Stanford. Her work has been translated into a dozen lang
 uages\, and she's received many awards including the National Building Mus
 eum's Scully Award for lifetime achievement in the built environment\, and
  the Ucelay Award from the Spanish Ministry of Transportation and Planning
  for pioneering work on gender.\n\nHayden is also a widely published poet.
  Her third collection\, Exuberance (Red Hen Press\, 2019)\, explores ris
 k in the voices of female and male stunt pilots from the earliest years of
  American aviation.\n\n"Domestic Revolutions\, Then and Now": Housing and 
 urban infrastructure were controversial topics in the late nineteenth and 
 early twentieth centuries\, part of broad debates about how to define publ
 ic and private life in urban\, and industrial societies. At the center is 
 the labor of social reproduction\, the everyday nurturing of children and 
 the elderly as well as other adults often called care work. Is it recogniz
 ed and supported? Or is care work taken for granted until it is missing? T
 he pandemic foregrounded these questions\, but they were the subject of my
  1981 book\, A Grand Domestic Revolution. A century and a half ago\, some 
 women in the suffrage movement campaigned to reshape cities and suburbs to
  support gender equality. Because these activists challenged the spatial a
 nd economic constraints of “woman’s sphere\,” I called them “mater
 ial feminists.” They believed the vote was not enough. They argued the b
 uilt environment had to change to recognize women’s unpaid nurturing wor
 k. I will discuss some of their projects and update their influence in bot
 h the US and Europe in 2025.\n\nSuggested Reading: The Grand Domestic Rev
 olution: A History of Feminist Designs for American Homes\, Neighborhoods\
 , and Cities (MIT Press\, 1981).\n\n"Still Making Space for Gender" cent
 ers women and LGBTQIA+ folk in the built environment. While the discourse 
 framing gender morphs and gender identities broaden and become more inters
 ectional\, the predicament remains the same. Women and LGBTQIA+folk contin
 ue to struggle against exploitation and fight for equal rights and equity 
 opportunities in the United States\, with this situation troubling unrelen
 ting claims of exceptionalism at home and abroad. Although gender politics
  are ever present\, achievements are hard-won and sometimes rolled back in
  the face of misogyny\, homophobia\, transphobia\, and other ingrained exp
 ressions of exclusion. Buildings\, cities\, and landscapes are not only wh
 ere battles over gender unfurl\, but these spaces also foster identities a
 nd incite change. In this lecture series\, trailblazing women and LGBTQIA 
 + design practitioners\, scholars\, and activists—working in architectur
 e\, landscape architecture\, and urban design—insist that gender must re
 main in sharp focus if we are to shape equitable and just built environmen
 ts.\n\nAll lectures are free\, open to the public\, and held in the Bernar
 d and Anne Spitzer School of Architecture Sciame Auditorium. For live capt
 ioning\, ASL interpretation\, or access requests\, please contact ssadean@

 itecture Fund and the generous support of Frank Sciame ’74\, CEO of Scia
 me Construction.
