Mit 3 Veranstaltungen beteiligt sich die #TUBraunschweig am #WomenInArchitecture Festival.

📍 Am 24.6. gibt es einen Stadtspaziergang „Braunschweig für alle?“. Studierende haben Orte in der Stadt aus der Sicht von Frauen erkundet – von öffentlichen Toiletten bis zu Erinnerungsorten.

📍 Am 26.6. folgt die Ausstellung „Chancengleichheit und Vielfalt in der #Architektur – haben wir schon alles erreicht?!“ mit anschließender Podiumsdiskussion.

3 Good Things, Monday!

1. My art open house (drop in by appointment) is going well! Have sold a few pieces so far (all Reiki-infused and inspired), and more appointments scheduled prior to December 24th. In the photo I've attached, you'll see one of my paintings in the background behind all the text of the book cover for my new novel (see number 2 below). :-)

2. I am on track for publishing my second novel (Otter Coast, a medical marijuana mystery!) on the Winter Solstice. A funny day perhaps in light of the timing with holiday sales (it is not in time for people to order paper copies for Christmas and have them arrive, but e-books will be in time); it feels right, so I'm going for it. Also, as you'll see from the photo of the book cover design in progress, we have lots of Lorem Ipsum text to be replaced. I love Lorem Ipsum text, makes me feel like clean dishes, clean sheets, new opportunities. :-)

3. I'm getting closer to solving some work-related architecture and engineering design challenges which are always intriguing to me. Although I can't talk about work-work, I can say that in novel number 1 (The Erenwine Agenda---a love story that centers on fracking---which I am ALSO reissuing on the Solstice, in my given name, Maia Chowdhury) and in novel number 2, there is lots of workplace drama of the highest caliber! 🙂

Now, back to said Day Job. 🙂

Updated ... one of the survivors participated in a storytelling related, that amplifies the voice of feminism:

Today is the day that we honour women in science, in respect for those who lost their lives on December 6th in Montreal. I don't see it in the news very much in the US (not at all, actually). It's been an important day for me as a woman working in architecture, even though the event occurred before I had even begun my studies in the field. I was an urban geography student at the time, considering the next steps in my career. I'm proud to be a woman working in STEM & STEAM.

Please boost this question to reach academic and industry connections here working in climate resilience (and TIA)!

I’m interested in pursuing doctoral level research related to my work in architecture and climate. I have two clear paths open right now: DBA (Doctor of Business Admin) and PhD. Either could be part time and online while I am working full time as an architect (see #DayJob) and my goal would be to stay on the industry side, not to go into teaching full time, although I am interested in some teaching and research. Do you know anyone who is doing climate resilience research and work in architecture and planning who ties the for-profit business / non-profit / IGO/ NGO admin aspects in? I would love to connect and I have a million questions! Thank you.

@bookishbrews I’m thinking I should have you review and/or set up an interview related to my novel The Erenwine Agenda prior to my reissuing it under my new (post divorce) name, and also have you review Otter Coast prior to its publication. Those are novels 1 and 2 in my trilogy (it’s the 3rd one I’m first drafting in Nanowrimo now). The trilogy is ecofiction and has mixed race characters (mixed Desi, mixed First Nations). And other race related themes that I won’t say because they would be book spoilers! Lmk how this works. E-mail [email protected] if preferred. Also tagging @ecofiction as I am interested in having you review these as well from an earth based ecofiction perspective.

And thanks!
