LAEP Speaker Series: Dan Jost

Lecture/Readings

The Tenuous Renaissance in Playscape Design In recent years, the U.S. has undergone a renaissance in playscape design. Those designing and commissioning playgrounds are increasingly moving away from static pole and platform structures that provide little play value and even less challenge. While safety is still one of the major drivers of playground design, there is an increasing understanding that not all risks can or should be limited--and some are beneficial. The adventure playground--where children build their own environments with hammers and saws--has made a bit of a comeback, and loose parts are being embraced on a wider scale. Innovative climbing features let children climb higher, farther, and in more social ways--while limiting falls from high places. And designers are increasingly bringing nature into playscapes--which has positive impacts on children's health and well-being.  In this presentation, Daniel Jost will discuss the playscape renaissance taking place, some of the playscapes he documented as a writer at Landscape Architecture Magazine, and his own efforts to support thoughtful playscapes and outdoor learning environments.

Make Do and Mend: The Impact of the Second World War on the Style and Acquisition of Clothing

Lecture/Readings

Join us for the Spring Friends of the Merrill-Cazier Library Lecture Series with speaker Nancy Hills, Head of USU's Theatre Costume Design Program! Immediate, basic human needs include food, clothing and shelter. When societies engage in war these necessities are compromised. It might seem irreverent to consider fashion in the context of conflict, but the experience of war and the upheaval it foists on society is always reflected in the way society attires itself.
