He will present the LSU College of Art & Design 2020 Nadine Carter Russell Chair Lecture titled The Assimilative Capacity Of: Identity and the Political Landscape on Monday, November 2, 2020 at 5 PM via Zoom. Mother Nature always wins!

Eight months following LSU's Covid shutdown (on the day of my proposed Nadine Carter Russell Chair Lecture!), I'm excited to present this evening with a modified topic appropriate to the times. Not even Zeta can keep me away! Stay strong Louisiana!

David Rubin invites you to participate in a global design summit Design Impact: Transformation at the Intersection of Climate Change, Equity, and Health, a virtual event held on September 24, 2020. You can learn more at https://www.gsdimpact.com/ Join the Alumni Council of the Harvard Graduate School of Design for a very exciting and transformative effort to positively inform current local, regional, and global issues. Climate change, structural racism and Covid-19 have colli...ded with propulsive force, exposing an existing landscape of inequity that demands a full reckoning - making plain what we have missed and who we have failed to serve. To create systemic change, we must develop fundamentally new design approaches that replace myopic point solutions with transformational systems that can drive change at the scale that our time demands. We look forward to collaborating with you!
