This website presents the outcome of a 2019 Landscape Architecture Foundation Fellowship for Innovation and Leadership, titled Educating Design Activists in Landscape Architecture. Through a written framework and an online resource guide, this website serves as a reference for those interested in transforming landscape architecture education and practice to address the critical challenges of our time, including equity, justice, and resilience.
