Quentin's Weeknotes 3/20/22-3/26/22

This Week:

• I worked on a grant to help the Museum with its efforts at engagement with Haudenosaunee communities.
• In MUST204: Collections Management, we talked about care for metal objects, and for textiles, and we washed and waxed the Eurydice statue in front of Yager Hall.
• I finished reading “The People’s Republic of Walmart” by Leigh Phillips and Michal Rozworski and wrote up some lengthy notes. It’s a fascinating book about whether we can use the tools of management and organized developed by firms like Walmart and Amazon (as well as the histories of previous attempts at planning economies) to create a socialist provisioning system that will be equitable and sustainable.
