Audrey G. Bennett is an interdisciplinary scholar whose work centers on design studies at the intersection of theoretical research and the critical and creative practices of thinking, making, and writing. She holds an MFA in Graphic Design from Yale University’s School of Art and a BA in Studio Art from Dartmouth College. Bennett has authored over 40 peer-reviewed publications and contributed artwork to 18 juried exhibitions. Her recent monograph, Critical Mapping for Sustainable Food Design: Food Security, Equity, and Justice (Taylor and Francis/Routledge 2023), explores how “interactive aesthetics” applied to the design of a “wicked solution” to food insecurity can mediate knowledge exchange between socio-economically diverse stakeholders to yield sustainability, equity, and justice.
