#prismatic utopia

Thrilled to announce that my essay Prismatic Utopia is hot off the press and in the most recent issue of ‘America Communal Societies Quarterly (ACSQ). Thanks to Richard W. Couper Press (Hamilton College) for publishing this essay and to their editorial team, and, to all of the scholars, curators, archivists, and fellowships, too. So grateful to all of you! “Prismatic Utopia” brings a threefold exploration into the practical, temporal, and spiritual use of color by the Shaker community, covering the period between 1790 and 1860.
