Speakers:

Anne C Godfrey, Associate Professor, Landscape architecture SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry

Anne C Godfrey's teaching and research examine photography's influence on the understanding, valuation and design of landscapes. Godfrey’s three book series with Routledge Press, Active Landscape Photography, is dedicated to critical discussions about the daily use of photography within the environmental design disciplines. The first (2020) and second (2022) book in this series lay groundwork for both new theory and new methods for specific practices in researching, investigating, and designing places. The third book (2023) brings together academics and practitioners from across landscape interested fields to share specific innovative projects that rigorously deploy active photography methods. Grounded in contemporary critical cultural theory, her work embraces the multiplicity of photography, landscape, representation, and their entanglement.

Recognized for her leadership and mentorship as an educator, has she received the 2019 Distinguished Academic Practitioner Award from the New York Upstate ASLA, was awarded for her mentorship of female students by Oregon ASLA, and named a Most Admired Educator by Design Intelligence. Her students have won numerous national and international awards and recognitions for their design and research projects. She continues to teach photography workshops in multiple academic and professional settings. Godfrey is Associate Professor of Landscape Architecture at SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry since 2017 and previously was a Senior Instructor at University of Oregon’s School of Architecture & Environment in the College of Design (formally AAA).
