The MIT Architecture focuses their Fall 2020 online public programming on "a series of conversations on where we are now." The school shares, "We will be talking about systemic racism and approaches to support art and design in Black communities; pandemics, inclusion, and history; democracy and data; architecture, power, and democracy; designing for resilience; the refugee crisis; art and slavery and vernacularism and diplomacy in an increasingly transnational, yet divided, world."

Archinect's ongoing Get Lectured series features each school's lecture series and their graphic design prowess with graphic lecture posters.
