In April 2007, while Director of the University of Minnesota Design Institute, I co-organized Design and Its Publics: Curators, Critics and Historians with Steven F. Ostrow, Chair of the UMN Department of Art History. The two-day conference was held at the University of Minnesota's Mayo Auditorium, and featured speakers from museums, universities and broadcasting, including the Museum of Modern Art, New York, San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, KCRW Los Angeles, Harvard University, New York University, Netherlands Architecture Institute, Design Museum, London, and the Art Institute of Chicago.
