"From The Met to the Mesa: Where Textiles Meet Technology."
Cory Pillen and Amy Cao of the Center of Southwest Studies will highlight the collaboration between The Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Department of Scientific Research, the Center of Southwest Studies, and the Fort Lewis College Chemistry Department. FLC faculty, staff, and students, along with select community partners, learned to conduct materials research locally, building long-term capacity for interdisciplinary teaching and ethical, community-centered collections stewardship in the Southwest.
