Christina Crawford has been selected as one of 10 new recipients of Getty/ACLS Postdoctoral Fellowships in the History of Art for 2020-21 to work on Atlanta Housing Interplay. During the academic year of leave from Emory University, Crawford will conduct archival research in Atlanta and throughout the US (as COVID-19 permits) on Techwood and University Homes, 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 year of work 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.
