The University of Texas at Austin’s School of Architecture (UTSOA)

The University of Texas at Austin’s School of Architecture (UTSOA) is developing an architectural history collective that is dedicated to studying, documenting, and disseminating the influence of African American space on the shape and meaning of the built environment. This project is led by the efforts of a distributed network of interdisciplinary historians, practitioners, information professionals, artists, and activists. The primary purpose is to contribute to the growing efforts of scholars and practitioners to pluralize the architectural canon to include the contributions of people of color, both as licensed architects and allied actors. Developing a full record of the past requires us to develop new scholarship that reveals the racial politics of the discipline of architecture that elides the contributions of non-licensed actors and segregates much of this work to the field of folk and vernacular studies.
The Black Space Project (BSP), a targeted research project in the School of Architecture at the University of Texas at Austin, is seeking a full-time Research Program Coordinator to assist the Faculty PI in managing a three-year grant to document and study the contributions of African Americans to the built environment. This position will oversee several tasks within the School of Architecture, including the administration of grant funds to purchase equipment and plan travel, managing the work of Graduate Research Assistants assigned to the project, managing the creation and maintenance of a project website, and serve as a liaison between the BSP and the UT Libraries to create a publicly accessible online database. This position will also coordinate several tasks with external community partners, including the management of subawards for exhibits and community workshops, the coordination of communications with external partners and local affiliates, and managing a series of oral history workshops in the community.
