\nNetworks of Design is a research project\/book proposal that looks at a body of women who were working in the emerging design disciplines in America in the 1920s-30s. It does so through the contemporary lens of design thinking which includes research, making and marketing; uncovering the breadth of work women were doing and the network they were creating, unconsciously or not. By uncovering \u2018anonymous\u2019, women are brought to the foreground of design history, not just through biographies or even the objects designed, but by linking their educational and career trajectories and reconsidering the role women have played in making our daily lives through design.<\/p>\n<\/a>
\nThere are two areas: Women\u2019s history and the inclusion women of the design discipline; second, I think it could be a stepping off point for people looking at the history of retail and media as the evolution of organizational structures is pretty interesting.<\/p>\n
\nI\u2019m currently revising a book proposal; a publisher contacted me and they think it\u2019s viable and a fit. So hopefully a book is next.<\/p>\n
\nTo date I\u2019ve primarily used archives and libraries including:\u202f\u202fUC\u2019s Special Collections<\/a>,\u202fPurdue University<\/a>,\u202fSmith College<\/a>,\u202fNew York Public Library<\/a>,\u202fCooper\u202fHewitt\u202fNational Design Museum<\/a>,\u202fHenry Ford Museum<\/a>,\u202fCranbrook Academy of Art<\/a>,\u202fUniversity of Chicago<\/a>\u202fand the\u00a0Mattatuck\u00a0Historical Society<\/a>.<\/p>\n
