Hampton University

Carmina Sánchez-del-Valle is Professor of the Department of Architecture at Hampton University in Virginia. She received a Bachelor in Environmental Design and a Master of Architecture professional degree from the University of Puerto Rico, and a doctoral degree in Architecture from the University of Michigan. She is a licensed architect registered in Puerto Rico. Sanchez-del-Valle has taught at the University of Kansas and the Florida Agricultural & Mechanical University. She is a recipient of the Hampton University Edward L. Hamm, Jr. Teaching Excellence Award, and is an ACSA Distinguished Professor. She has been a Fulbright-Hays Senior Scholar in Egypt collaborating with Dr. Amr Abdel-Kawi, an ASEE Fellow in NASA LaRC, and a FRN-NYU Summer Scholar-in-Residence. She is a member of the collaborative Mapping Meaning founded by Krista Caballero and Sylvia Torti.

Her research has focused on the integration of computer-based tools into architectural education and practice for design thinking, and the management of design information. She has developed models for mapping historical districts as graphic relational databases. She has investigated the use of adaptive kinetic systems as analogical vehicles to teach about digital modeling, complex systems, and sustainability. She has written about graphic novels as thick descriptions of the city. Currently, she teaches the design research studio and advanced topics in building technology and community design. This last  is connected to the micro seminar “Living by Water” she co-teaches with Dr. Amee Carmines from English Literature.

Jen Richter is an assistant professor in the School for the Future of Innovation in Society and School of Social Transformation at Arizona State University. She is also a senior sustainability scientist with the Julie Ann Wrigley Global Institute of Sustainability and Innovation at ASU.

Her research interests are at the intersections of science, environment, and society, and she teaches courses on environmental justice, science and society, and energy policy. She is especially interested in how federal policies are created and then taken up by local populations, specifically in the American West. Professor Richter focuses on energy justice, specifically in relation to the cultural, political, and environmental issues that come with larger energy transitions. Her research has focused on the environmental and social issues related to nuclear waste storage, and renewable energy production, and how policies are developed to address issues of production of resources, as well as contamination of land, water, and air. By examining how science and technology policies collide with local expectations and understandings of environment and politics, Professor Richter explores the different effects of energy technologies and policies, and their effects on society at different scales, from the local to the global.
