Very grateful to have received a grant award from the wonderful Center for Craft to research my next book on who defines craft in the US, and how.

In spring 2020, at a moment in time when so much changed in the world so quickly, the MFA’s Department of Contemporary Art wanted to center living artists by celebrating the necessity and relevance of their work.

On August 25, 2018, my wonderful co-curator and author on I Will What I Want: Women, Design, and Empowerment, Jimena Acosta and I launched our book. Look out for the sister event in Philly in the fall at the brilliant Ulises art space in Fishtown.

The Fondation Louis Vuitton in Paris is currently collaborating with MoMA on an exhibition of the latter’s most beloved collection items; I contributed a few short essays to the catalogue–on the Rainbow Flag, the Self-Aligning Ball Bearing, and the Google Maps Pin.

I have a peer-reviewed chapter on Bauhaus toy design in Megan Brandow-Faller’s edited volume on the material culture of childhood from Bloomsbury Academic Press, released May 2018.

Peer-reviewed. We launched an entirely new e-journal, the first of its kind, covering the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning in Art History Pedagogy. The first journal issue of Art History Pedagogy and Practice launched in December 2017, with over 1,000+ article downloads in the first week. A huge accomplishment for the entire ArtHistoryTeachingResources.org team.

I wrote curatorial overviews and fully participated in curatorial selection for each of the projects in the catalogue, as well as coordinated the editing of the publication alongside lead authors Paola Antonelli and Jamer Hunt.
