panel participation at american anthropological association confirmed for november.
at the kind invitation of scott lukas at lake tahoe college, i was invited to speak on a panel at the 2008 annual meeting of the american anthropological association. i’m happy to say that the event is now confirmed. the panel is called experiential, branded, and lifestyle spaces: dialogues between architecture and anthropology and will include such authors as anna klingmann (brandscapes: architecture in the experience economy) and miodrag mitrasinovic (total landscape, theme parks, public space). our panel convenes on november 21, from 1:45–5:30pm, at the san francisco hilton.
i’ve been asked to speak about thematic design and dubai, and i will be basing this presentation on information i gathered for the sisters in the sand project this past spring.
