Paul James Morgan, sociology graduate student, has received a $5,000 University of
North Carolina Ashville Fellowship Award to study how labor, aesthetic and use values
influence how craftspeople make and price their items for sale. The research, which
will contribute to his dissertation, will include interviews and observations conducted
in person at local craft fairs and in the online marketplace of Etsy.com via forums
and live video chat.
Funding for this study began in October and will run through April 2013.
