The Arcus/Places Prize

Gender, Sexuality, and the Built Environment

The Arcus/Places Prize is a collaboration between Places and the Diversity Platforms Committee of the College of Environmental Design at University of California, Berkeley. Established in 2014 to support innovative public scholarship on the relationship between gender, sexuality, and the built environment, the award is funded by the college’s Arcus Endowment, which was launched with a generous gift from the Arcus Foundation.
