Obviously, given the lack of announcement so far, there’s no book club meeting this month. Thanks to the patience of fellow bookclubbers as I reschedule for Wednesday, May 24. The next reading will be The Academic Kitchen, a social history of the academic discipline of home economics, using the case of UC Berkeley. As the monographic topic might suggest, the book was likely the author Maresi Nerad’s dissertation. Very trade press, I know, but it should give us a chance to talk about a wide range of topics, from small-scale social history to the reclamation of domestic kitsch in popular culture (think the PBS special on Tupperware). Thanks to Diana for the pointer.
