Critical Craft Forum: College Art Association Series (2014-2019) podcasts will make an ongoing project publicly available and encourage dialogue about the content through Critical Craft Forum's Facebook group (nearly 13,000 members). Recordings from CCF sessions at the national College Art Association Conferences are not publicly available at this time. By releasing sessions from 2014-19 as podcasts, topics such as decolonizing craft, gentrification, social engagement, gender and more would be available to many who were unable to attend, as well as support educators with their current curricular needs for critical online content.
