Lauren McQuisition receives Graham Grant for architecture history project

An assistant professor of architecture in UNM’s School of Architecture and Planning will work on a collaborative architecture history project as part of a competitive Graham Grant.

Lauren McQuistion and two colleagues have already started on an anthology of architecture information published between 1978 and 1983 in the influential monthly tabloid magazine Skyline. The magazine was considered groundbreaking in several senses, including for its mostly women editorial leadership and its variety of writing. 

“One of the most striking things is how quickly Skyline’s contents move between criticism, gossip, interviews, announcements, and serious debate in ways that blur distinctions between scholarship, journalism, and professional culture,” McQuistion said.  Learn more about the project in our latest UNM Faculty Fanfare.
