Cool, what is for us?<br />
Joel Dinerstein’s talk focuses on the concept<br />
of “cool,’ and draws from his book and popular<br />
culture exhibit, American Cool, as curated for<br />
the National Portrait Gallery of the Smithsonian<br />
Institution in 2014. He is the author of an<br />
award-winning cultural history of big-band<br />
jazz and industrialization entitled Swinging<br />
the Machine: Modernity, Technology, and<br />
African-American Culture, and he has worked<br />
as a consultant on jazz and popular music<br />
for Putumayo Records, HBO’s Boardwalk<br />
Empire, and the National Endowment for the<br />
Humanities (NEH).
