The Space Between Us: Writing Across Difference in the Crafts

A compilation of articles unpacking identity construction and making connections to craft, edited by Jennifer Hand.

‘These selections are but one way of unpacking identity construction—the way that I personally wound and wove my way through the MACR archive to build my toolkit. At the end of my introduction to each component of this publication, I offer pickings to extend pathways, detours, and redirections to continue the never-ending work of understanding ourselves and others.”

The MACR Papers is the final program publication of the MA in Critical Craft Studies (2017-2023) at Warren Wilson College. The 7 papers, including Jennifer Alexis Hand’s, were edited individually or in pairs by the Class of 2023 with the addition of a publication co-edited by Ben Lignel (project supervisor and core faculty) and Namita Gupta Wiggers (founding program director and core faculty). As you browse—through tables of content or keywords— invite you to choose, save, and print the articles that meet with your interest, and thus to assemble your own versions of “The MACR Papers.”
