At MIT she assisted in the creation of the core principles in computer programming as she worked with her colleagues in writing code for the world's first portable computer. Hamilton's innovations go beyond the feats of playing an important role in getting humans to the moon. She, along with many other female engineers, challenged the male dominated technology field of their time, to allow women to enter in STEM fields for many years to come.</font></div>

Keeping the architecture’s ongoing struggles with diversity, equity and inclusion in spite of an explosion of scholarship on gender and race in this field in mind, she aims to invite to rethink about the importance of the feminist practice in the field as a way of critically constructing the knowledge of gender, race and ethnicity within a multiple perspective and how to integrate them into (global and multicultural) architecture history.</span></div>

The symposium has built in many opportunities for the audience to mingle and interact with speakers and with one another.<br>
