Environment Behavior Research on a Systemic Topic

Erin Lilli, PhD

Eve Klein, M.Arch, M.Phil, Visiting Lecturer, Pratt Institute

In this project you will explore a systemic topic through Environmental Behavior Research. This project includes a presentation and a paper on a topic that should address an issue that bridges societal concerns and physical spaces (like climate change, anti-racism, social gatherings in the time of COVID-19, daily living/working in the time of COVID-19, religious worship, health and wellness, etc.) This project will include data collection (environment behavior research that can be safely conducted with physical distancing OR using existing data sets), scholarly research, and written analysis. A recommended intervention or proposal for change is optional.

NYC Protests in the Times of COVID-19

Erin Lilli, PhD

David Holzman, MLA, NYU Tandon School of Engineering

With classmates, you will be responsible for making a presentation that provides a snapshot of some important ways that protesting –particularly Black Lives Matters (BLM)– can happen as safely and effectively as possible during the COVID-19 pandemic. You are challenged with conceiving a protest and creating visual content to support it that can be accessible across ages and languages, yet still offers sophisticated information based on meaningful research from credible sources.
