One has to do with the socio-political consequences and historiography of the cultural production known today under the label of Art Deco. My work has looked at sites in Canada, the United States, and India, ranging in scale from a radio in a living room to a skyscraper, NHL hockey arena to super-cinema, emphasizing the vast reach and cosmopolitan quality of this mode of design. I recently co-edited with Dr. Bridget Elliott (Western University) the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.routledge.com\/The-Routledge-Companion-to-Art-Deco\/Elliott-Windover\/p\/book\/9781472485144\"><em>Routledge Research Companion to Art Deco<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>A second area explores the visual and material culture of radio in Canada. \u201cSeeing, Selling, and Situating Radio in Canada, 1922-56,\u201d a collaborative project with radio historian Dr. Anne MacLennan at York University, was supported by a SSHRC Insight Grant (2012-2015) and has generated a substantial database of visual culture drawn from popular magazines, newspapers, and archives. It culminated in an exhibition and catalogue in 2017. See\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/sssradio.apps01.yorku.ca\/\">http:\/\/sssradio.apps01.yorku.ca<\/a>\u00a0for more on this research. I have also published on the spatial impact and design of radio architecture and infrastructure, with particular emphasis on the architecture of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-5498 \" src=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/aah\/wp-content\/uploads\/sssric-240x239.jpg\" sizes=\"(max-width: 266px) 100vw, 266px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/aah\/wp-content\/uploads\/sssric-240x239.jpg 240w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/aah\/wp-content\/uploads\/sssric-160x160.jpg 160w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/aah\/wp-content\/uploads\/sssric.jpg 400w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/aah\/wp-content\/uploads\/sssric-200x200.jpg 200w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/aah\/wp-content\/uploads\/sssric-360x359.jpg 360w\" alt=\"book cover image\" width=\"266\" height=\"265\" \/>I\u2019m interested in interiors and the challenges they pose for historians. We spend much of our lives in them, yet they are among the most mutable of designed spaces. I\u2019ve written about design and agency, with regards to radios and interior space, as well as the place of the piano in the Edwardian living room (with Prof. James Deaville in Music). Currently, I\u2019m leading an interdisciplinary SSHRC-funded, collaborative project between Carleton University, Algonquin College, and Ingenium that also emphasizes the importance of quotidian spatial practices and interiors. \u201cDesigning Domestic Dining\u201d has involved a series of interviews with members of the Anatolian community to examine the interrelationships of food, memory, the use of domestic technology, and interior space.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, I\u2019m excited to be working with Prof. Peter Coffman on the Virtual Museum of Architecture in Ottawa project, for which we were awarded a Teaching Achievement Award from the Office of the Provost and Vice-President (Academic) in 2019. Still in its early stages, the project mobilizes student research on the designed environment of the National Capital Region in the creation of a pedagogical and research tool.<\/p>\n<h3>Courses Taught<\/h3>\n<p>ARTH 1201 History and Theory of Architecture 2: 1600 to the present<br \/>\nARTH 2310 Architecture of Early Modern Europe (1400-1750)<br \/>\nARTH 2610 Twentieth-Century Architecture<br \/>\nARTH 2710 Experiencing Architecture<br \/>\nARTH 3107 History and Methods of Architectural History<br \/>\nARTH 3710 Architecture and Empire<br \/>\nARTH 3809 Art Deco and Interwar Modernity (Winter 2013)<br \/>\nARTH 3810 Perspectives on Interiors (Fall 2019)<br \/>\nARTH 4610 Art Deco in Context: Cosmopolitanism, Class, and Culture between the Wars (Fall 2014)<br \/>\nARTH 4800 Thinking Inside the Box: Perspectives on Interiors (Fall 2015)<br \/>\nARTH 4800 \u00a0Architecture and the Mass Media (Fall 2013)<br \/>\nARTH 4800 Reconstructing Canada: Architecture and Design, 1945-1968 (Fall 2012; Winter 2018)<br \/>\nARTH 5112 Thinking Inside the Box: Approaches to Interiors (Winter 2014)<br \/>\nARTH 5403 \u2013 Fantasy and Fa\u00e7ade: Art Deco and Meanings of Modernity (Fall 2019)<\/p>\n<p>I have supervised undergraduate and graduate theses and directed readings courses on topics related to architectural history, design history, material culture, and heritage.<\/p>\n<h3>Selected publications<\/h3>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h4><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.ca\/Art-Deco-Mobility-Michael-Windover\/dp\/2760535126\/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1496684297&sr=8-1&keywords=art+deco+a+mode+of+mobility%20noopener%20noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-5141 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/aah\/wp-content\/uploads\/MWindover-ArtDeco.png\" alt=\"book cover image\" width=\"248\" height=\"389\" \/><\/a><\/h4>\n<h4>Books and Exhibition Catalogues:<\/h4>\n<p>Windover, Michael and Anne MacLennan.\u00a0<em>Seeing, Selling, and Situating Radio in Canada, 1922-1956<\/em>.
