DHS Routes to Design History: Elizabeth Guffey

Welcome to the Design History Society: Routes to Design History podcast series. This series offers a glimpse into the journeys of those who have studied or practice design history, highlighting global perspectives and diverse ways of engaging with the field.

 

In this episode, we speak with Elizabeth Guffey, Professor emerita in Art History at the State University of New York, Purchase College. Her research lies at the intersection of design, visual culture, museology and disability studies. She is currently working on a book project that describes and critiques the emergence of Post-Universal Design, arguing that paradigms from critical disability studies are reshaping the landscape of design for disability but also providing a new model for responsible, respectful and research-rich design practice in the future. Her most recent books are Making Disability Modern, and Designing Disability.
