Dr. Elka Stevens, 2021-2022 Artist-in-Residence: Critical Race Studies will be joining us on Monday, October 4 at 6 pm EST on zoom. Dr. Stevens scholarly interests lie at the intersections of visual and material culture, international trade, gender, and identity. Dr. Stevens uses textiles and clothing as a lens of analysis, inspiration, and media for her work to explore themes of sizeism, repurposing, pedagogy, digital humanities, archival methodologies, and social justice. Three of her current research projects examine the impact of globalization and trade policy on visual and material culture, the impact of political iconography on public attitudes, and the digitization of a historic costume collection.
