 o join the conversation.\n\n“Making” and “knowing” have generally been vie
 wed as\nbelonging to different types and orders of knowledge. “Craft” and 
 “making” have\nbeen associated with how-to information\, oriented to a par
 ticular situation or\nproduct\, often informal and tacit\, while “knowing”
  has been related to\ntheoretical\, propositional\, and abstract knowledge
  including natural science.\nAlthough craftspeople and artists have worked
  with natural materials and\nsometimes been viewed as experts in the behav
 ior of matter\, the notion that\nmaking art can constitute a means of know
 ing nature is still a novel one.\nPublished by the University of Michigan 
 Press in 2014 as part of the Bard\nGraduate Center’s ongoing book series\,
  Cultural Histories of the Material\nWorld\, Ways of\nMaking and Knowing: 
 The Material Culture of Empirical Knowledge\,\nedited by Pamela H. Smith (
 Seth Low Professor of History at Columbia\nUniversity)\, Amy R. W. Meyers 
 (Director of the Yale Center for\nBritish Art)\, and Harold J. Cook (John 
 F. Nickoll Professor of\nHistory at Brown University)\, was the culminatio
 n of a project that began as a\nfive-day conference in London in 2005. Thi
 s volume\, with contributions from\nhistorians of science\, medicine\, art
 \, and material culture\, shows that the histories\nof science and art are
  not simply histories of concepts or styles\, or at least\nnot that alone\
 , but histories of the making and using of objects to understand\nthe worl
 d.\n\nSince then\, and with increasing momentum\, many exciting approaches
  to “making and\nknowing” have emerged in areas across disciplines\, resea
 rch interests\, and\ninstitutions where the act of “making” is critical to
  understanding. This\nevening\, the editors of the book\, together with Gl
 enn Adamson (Director of\nthe Museum of Arts and Design)\, Edward S. Cooke
 \, Jr. (Charles F.\nMontgomery Professor\, History of American Decorative 
 Arts in the Department of\nthe History of Art at Yale)\, Martina Droth (He
 ad of Research at the\nYale Center for British Art)\, Florence Grant (Post
 doctoral Research\nAssociate\, Yale Center for British Art)\, and Lisa O’S
 ullivan (Director\,\nCenter for the History of Medicine and Public Health 
 at the New York Academy of\nMedicine) will explore the future of making an
 d knowing from the varying\nperspectives of the museum\, the classroom\, a
 nd the research institute.\n\nLight refreshments will be served at 5:15 pm
 . The\npresentations will begin at 5:30 pm.RSVP is required. PLEASE NOTE t
 hat our Lecture Hall can only accommodate\na limited number of people\, so
  please come early if you would like to have a\nseat in the main room. Reg
 istrants who arrive late may be seated in an overflow\nviewing area.
