Listen "What is Material Culture of Childhood?"
Episode Synopsis
What can a piece of clothing tell us about how a child lived? How can parent interactions be revealed through a pair of gloves? What might a baby's quilt tell us about family dynamics? Dr. Sarah Anne Carter, Executive Director of the Center for Design and Material Culture at the University of Wisconsin-Madison's School of Human Ecology takes us on a field trip into the Center's vast collection to examine childhood objects throughout history, and how these objects can help tell the stories of the children who used them.
