Abstract
Modern society is experiencing a revival of craft, yet our understanding of the role of craft in society remains very sparse. Craft appears to be an important component of the new economy and may provide opportunities to dampen inequality in modern society. As such, enhancing our understanding of the craft revival seems to be essential. In addition, we also lack a solid understanding of the unique organizations and networks that engage in craft production. Key for these actors appears to be striking a balance between tradition and innovation. The purpose of this symposium is to bring together a diverse panel of distinguished scholars conducting research on craft to (1) discuss the importance of and recent developments in the area; (2) chart out a course for future research, and; (3) engage in an interactive discussion with audience members around the topic.
