I am thrilled to announce that I’ve been selected as one of 10 new recipients of Getty/ACLS Postdoctoral Fellowships in the History of Art for the 2020-21 academic year. I’ll use the fellowship year to work on my second project, Atlanta Housing Interplay: Expanding the Interwar Housing Map. It is research that seeks to expand the interwar architectural map through a detailed investigation of Techwood and University Homes, America’s first federally-funded (segregated) public housing projects, to establish Atlanta’s role as a clearinghouse for European social housing ideas, and to investigate how architectural ideas and forms travel and transform—in this case, across the Atlantic, across Atlanta, and across the United States. The research, writing, 3-D modeling, and cartography that emerge from this project will result in a monograph and allied digital public history project that tests the capacities of new hybrid publishing formats. Thanks to the Getty and ACLS for the amazing gift of time and flexibility to get this project truly off the ground.
