1960s experiment left mark on social sciences

- Bill Maurer, social sciences dean and anthropology and law professor, and Robert Kett, anthropology graduate student, are featured in the OC Register May 19, 2014
From the OC Register:
The research was sparked by a compelling set of black-and-white photographs of “the
Farm,” a bizarre and failed experiment that took place at UC Irvine over about six
months in 1968 and 1969. It wound up as the focus of an art exhibit and then a book,
“Learning by Doing at The Farm,” published this year by UCI doctoral students Robert
Kett and Anna Kryczka…. Given the long-standing conservative image of Orange County,
the photos of people making crafts in a communal setting on undeveloped ranch land
at UCI are both intriguing and strange.
