Description

This virtual event is a wide-reaching conversation between author Glenn Adamson, and Clark University faculty Parminder Bhachu (Sociology) and Kristina Wilson (Art History; Visual and Performing Arts). Together, they explore connections between their recent books on makers and design as an expression of identity (Craft: An American History, Movers and Makers: Uncertainty, Resilience, and Migrant Creativity, and Mid-century Modernism and the American Body, respectively). Together, these scholars discuss their circuitous paths of research, the delight of an unexpected archival find, and their reflections on the eloquence of an inanimate thing. This virtual event took place April 29, 2021.

Co-sponsored by the Higgins School of Humanities; the Department of Sociology; and the Department Visual and Performing Arts at Clark University
