How does one write art history when there are no physical objects or archives to study? This is a question at the center of art history Professor Kristina Wilson's latest work.

Wilson came across the names of two designers, Addison "Add" Bates and Perry Fuller, in editions of Ebony Magazine dating to the 1950s. Curious about their work, Wilson tried to learn more and discovered no readily available archives to study.

On this episode of Challenge. Change., Wilson describes sleuthing through newspaper gossip columns, magazines, and more to learn about Bates and Fuller.

"When you're a historian, you get used to looking at evidence and knowing how to put it together. This project has made me consider, first of all, what is the evidence that we rely on, and, second of all, what are the assumptions that I make when I put the evidence together," she says. "There is so much that we gain by learning about their careers — it offers some really interesting perspectives into life in mid-century America that you wouldn't learn about otherwise."
