Buildings, the spaces around them and the landscapes they are situated in shape who we are, who we meet and how we interact with each other. Those spaces we choose to immerse ourselves in and that we enjoy shape us. What if you did not get to choose where you lived, or what your home looked like. How would that shape you and your community? Would you be well? Buildings and spaces can cause and also heal all kinds of wounds, and change lives.

"Professor Dr. Shelagh McCartney is a licensed architect and urbanist whose expertise in design and development focus on urbanization and housing, with a strong community development focus. She believes that planning and architecture are byproducts of complex territorial networks and cultural history, and that design can heal cultural wounds. Her interdisciplinary approach, in partnership with communities, is often situated within contested territories of marginalized peoples in Canada's Near-North and the global South that are experiencing rapid growth.

She is a Fulbright Scholar who received her Doctor of Design and Masters in Design Studies, concentrating in Urban Development and Housing, from the Harvard University Graduate School of Design, and Bachelors of Professional Architecture and Bachelor of Environmental Studies Pre professional Architecture from the University of Waterloo, Canada.
