Danielle BurkeGraduate Studentshe/her/hers

I am an artist, folklorist, and PhD candidate in Design Studies. I study textiles, craft pedagogy, and artist communities; my studio practice focuses primarily on the process of weaving. Knowledge transmission and materiality are two threads which guide and connect much of my research, as are the methodologies of ethnography and archival research.
