"The Chicago Social Practice History Series"

This series of four, 225-page illustrated books examines for the first time Chicago's thinkers and makers that have defined the intellectual and creative life of the city. (The fourth book is not published yet). With nearly 30 chapters each (including one by FTCNS parent Lori Waxman) these volumes locate Chicago's critical social thought and practices within a history of modern urban change and its commensurate societal issues as played out in the complexities of it's communities. The inspirational starting point is Jane Addams; our mission is to recall movements and collectives in the 20th century; and the need in the fields of art, architecture, and design is to recognize Chicago's present-day committed practitioners, offering a depth of geographic and historical context for the work they continue around social design, including education, housing, food, ecological urgencies, prison reform, and much more.
