About the course
Architecture is a physical manifestation of power, identity, and history. This course offers a transformative framework for understanding the built environment through the lens of Blackness as both an identity and a lived experience. In an era where urban equity and social justice are at the forefront of global discourse, this course provides the critical fluency needed to deconstruct spatial inequalities and imagine more inclusive futures. The Museum of Modern Art will take you beyond traditio
The consensus
Every one of the 11 reviews we read gave it 4★ or more. This is the most-upvoted one (no upvotes).
“I have absolutely no regrets on taking this course. All of the course information provided (videos, interviews, texts) were not only easy to follow and navigate but they were also very inspiring and thought provoking. There was a lot of new material that I learned from and a lot of content that motivated and inspired me as a Black woman, and also influenced my art as a visual artist. The artists and ideas presented in the course were authentic, original, and stimulating.”
Coursera's 4.8 comes from 76 ratings. Of those, 1.3% are 1–2★.
Starisk reads the reviews learners voted most helpful, and weights each by the square root of its votes: a review with 80 upvotes counts about five times one with 2. Unvoted reviews are not skipped out of laziness — by this model they carry no evidence that other students endorsed them.
That measures what the most-endorsed reviews say, not “true quality.” The rating distribution above is the whole population, so you can see the sample next to it.
