PJ Carlino is a design educator and design historian. His scholarship decodes the history embedded in industrially produced products with a particular focus on the vernacular object and the intersection of production and consumption. For this CDMC Conversation, Dr. Carlino was joined in conversation by Assistant Professor Dr. Nastaran Shishegar (Design Studies, SoHE). They discussed gender, race, and class in the standardization of office furniture and interiors.

 

Event was free and open to the public thanks to the support of The Anonymous Fund.
