The Archives Speaker Series takes on an international flavor today (April 26) in the Andrew L. Bouwhuis Library, 2nd Floor at 2:30 p.m. This event is free and open to the public. A Q&A period and light refreshments will follow the presentation.
Noted Larkin Company expert, Howard Stanger, PhD, who teaches business history to both MBA and Honors students, will be joined by German researcher, Christine Schnaithmann. Stanger will discuss how his research on the Larkin company evolved and the impact of his articles.
Schaithmann, one of the first graduates of HPI School of Design Thinking in Potsdam, Germany, is investigating the relationship between office organization and architecture using Frank Lloyd Wright’s Larkin building as a case study. She currently conducts research and is a teaching assistant in the department of cultural History and theory at Humboldt-Universitat, Berling.
Although the Larkin Building was razed in 1950, the historic neighborhood in which it stood is enjoying a manufacturing renaissance known as “The Hydraulic District.”
The Archives Speaker Series showcases researchers whose focus on primary documents has resulted in an expression of scholarship.
