MATERIAL ASPECTS OF AMERICAN LIFE
FALL 1997
TTh 2:00 - 3:15 pm
"We are surrounded by things, and we are surrounded by history. But too
seldom do we use the artifacts that make up our environment to
understand the past. Too seldom do we try to read objects as we read
books - to understand the people and times that created them, used them,
and discarded them."
