Jean Yang, landscape designer, urban planner, and educator, joins the Stuckeman School's Lecture + Exhibit Series for a Department of Landscape Architecture Bracken Lecture.
Titled “Community in Landscapes,” Yang’s talk will discuss how humans create their built environment and how it, in turn, shapes them.
By explaining her work on projects such as the Los Angeles County Parks Strategic Plan, the Our County sustainability plan, SoFi stadium, Destination Crenshaw and the Upper Los Angeles River Plan, her lecture will discuss how open space can bring attention, funding and green havens to neglected communities.
Yang is currently an assistant professor of landscape architecture at the State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry. She has worked as a senior associate at Studio-MLA and has taught at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), California State Polytechnic University, Pomona and the University of Oregon as a Spatial Justice Fellow.
