Sarah Whiting has been Dean and William Ward Watkin Professor of the School of Architecture at Rice University since January 2010; she taught previously at Princeton, Harvard, University of Kentucky, IIT and University of Florida. Whiting received her BA from Yale University, her MArch from Princeton, and her PhD from MIT.

Dr. Whiting possesses an indefatigable curiosity about how individuals constitute a public and, more specifically, through what forms (architecture and urbanism) that public manifests itself and is, in turn, formed. In her writing, her teaching, and her practice, Whiting focuses on architecture's public audience and how architecture can engage that collective subject.
