Join Edward W. Langille in discussing his work and research in writing the Story of Lillian Burke.

The story of Lillian Burke is the biography of a remarkable woman whose multifaceted career spanned five decades. Schooled in the tradition of the Anglo-American Arts and Crafts movement, she wore many hats. She was an inspiring art teacher and an accomplished artisan, as well as a pioneer in the field of occupational therapy, having worked overseas as a “reconstruction aide” during WWI and in later years as a therapist at the New York State Psychiatric Institute. Until now, her story has never been told.
