University of Detroit Mercy and Wayne State University will co-host the 52nd annual conference of the Environmental Design Research Association, EDRA52 DETROIT: Just Environments. The Environmental Design Research Association invites practitioners, researchers and educators to collaboratively rethink how environmental research and practice may serve as a foundation for change and justice. The event is planned for May 19-22, 2021, as a hybrid event in Detroit with both in-person and virtual options (fully prepare to shift to all virtual if COVID-19 does not improve).

There are seven conference themes:
