Samuel Dubois is a trained geographer and a licensed architect (OAQ, MRAIC) from Montréal, Canada. He holds a B.A. in Geography from McGill University, a B.Sc. in Architecture from Université de Montréal and a Master of Architecture from Carleton University. He is currently pursuing doctoral studies in the History, Theory and Criticism of Architecture program at MIT, under the supervision of Dr. Mark M. Jarzombek. His research interests broadly include the relationship between cultural geography and the built environment in the twentieth century, with a particular focus on historically marginalized groups in a Canadian context. In this regard, Samuel contributed one chapter called Classicism and Indigeneity in a forthcoming edited volume on Classicism in Canada published by McGill-Queen's University Press. His writings were also published in various journals, including Pidgin, Imprint, and Argus.

Prior to joining the MIT community, Samuel worked in award-winning architectural firms in the Netherlands, Switzerland and Canada. He is the recipient of several awards and scholarships, including the John E. Ruddy Architecture Award, the Joseph-Armand-Bombardier Scholarship, the Prix d'excellence de la Fondation Habitat 67, and the Excellence Award in Steel Design of the Canadian Institute of Steel Construction. Samuel's research projects have also previously received the generous support of the Canadian Centre for Architecture and MIT's Department of Architecture. He is currently supported by the MIT Presidential Fellowship and by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada, as a doctoral fellow.
