Listen "Conversations with an Architectural Educator."
Episode Synopsis
This is the twentieth episode of Season 2 of The Broke Architect Podcast!
This show is brought to you by the Global Architect Alliance (GAA).
I have with me today Victoria Farrow who is an architect, associate professor and subject lead in architecture for parts 1, 2 and 3 in architecture at the Leicester School of Architecture, De Monfort University. Before this, Victoria was an associate professor and course leader for BA architecture and first-year lead at Birmingham City University (BCU) for almost 10 years.
Victoria is an activist, compassionate educator and passionate about making positive change. She is happy to grit her teeth to get what needs to be done done, maybe it’s because she is from Hull!”
In this episode, we talk about the gap between education and practice. We also discuss the human side of an educator in 2023 and the demands of this role. We delve into the dreaded CRIT and discuss much more besides.
Please REMEMBER the Podcast is supporting the important work of The Architects Benevolent Society, which was founded in 1850 and exists to support the architectural community and their families and can help architects in a range of ways during their working life, or once they have retired. https://www.absnet.org.uk/get-help/
