 y to be part of the Parity Talks 6 - What's Good? hosted by the Parity Gro
 up ETHZ\, together with Womxn in Design from Harvard GSD\, Claiming Space
 s from TU Vienna\, Parity Board TU Munich and the Parity Front. \n\nIt’
 s been 6 years since the first Parity Talks at the ETHZ began a discussion
  around gender and diversity in architecture and planning. This year toget
 her with four other institutions we will reflect on how the situation has 
 evolved for planning disciplines. A day-long event on the 10th March hoste
 d by the Parity Group at the ETHZ will be a collective questioning of ‘W
 hat’s Good?’. \n\nTogether we will discuss our current understanding 
 of good practice\, who decides what is good\, and the problems of educatio
 n based on ideas of excellence. The Parity Talks 6 will be acting as the d
 eparture point for a season of digital events across the five institutions
 \, propelling further debates on gender\, equity\, inclusion and belonging
 .\n\nThe DRAG lab will organise an online season of Book clubs along the t
 opic of Representation during this spring semester 2021. \n\nPARITY TALKS

 ble – Curriculum Change: Learning/Unlearning Taste\n\nWith GSD + TU WIE
 N Curriculum changes are the order of the day in many architecture schools
 . Who is included in the change making process and  gets a say in what co
 mes and what stays? Do these changes go far enough to sustain equity\, dec
 olonize\, and depatriarchize our age-old canonical syllabi? While some tea
 ching formats are quick to change\, some seem impossible to dispel. How ca
 n institutional activism help and steer consistent and meaningful change i
 n architecture education and beyond? Online black activist Rachel Cargle s
 peaks about the "Great Unlearn." Can we teach to unlearn? We will discuss 
 the possibilities of radical changes in content and form within design ins
 titutions\, (un)learning and listening to one another.\n\nFeaturing: Lisa
