Architect and activist Deanna Van Buren, co-founder of Designing Justice + Designing Spaces, will present the closing keynote lecture of the 2024 Trauma-Informed Design Symposium at Iowa State University. She will speak about the role interdisciplinary approaches to design with social workers, game designers, artists and others can play in healing and repair as they relate to supporting inner and outer peace.
