In February 2022, I talked about Mid-Century Modernism and the American Body: Race, Gender, and the Politics of Power in Design<\/em><\/a> on two podcasts:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> I talked with Nushelle de Silva on the New Books in Art channel of the New Books Network<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

And, I spoke with the fascinating editors at Monocle on Design<\/a> in the UK about mid-century modernism, comfort, race, and alternative readings of design history.<\/p>\n

A big thank you to the wonderful folks at AIGA Boston<\/a>, who hosted me for a lively conversation in February 2022 about some of my research on designer Add Bates \"\"<\/a>and how we as a design history community might begin reassessing the canonical history of design. A link to the talk on YouTube is here.<\/a>  <\/p>\n

On April 29, 2021, I had the good fortune to sit down\"\"<\/a> with two wonderful colleagues — Glenn Adamson<\/a>, craft historian extraordinaire, and Parminder Bhachu, Professor of Sociology here at Clark — for a wide-ranging conversation about craft, design, history, and identity. It was generously sponsored by the Higgins School of Humanities<\/a> at Clark. A recording of the event is available at the link you can follow here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

On March 10, 2021, I gave a talk sponsored by the Friends of Goddard Library at Clark University about my new book, Mid-Century Modernism and the American Body: Race, Gender and the Politics of Power in Design<\/a>. You can watch a recording of the talk at this link on the Goddard Library<\/a> website. (Thank you to Laura Robinson & Marcia Stech!)<\/p>\n
