Grace's research interests centre upon the mediation of design and philosophies of design to consumers, through advice literature, corporate literature, advertising and magazines and she is particularly concerned with issues of demotic design, domesticity and gender. Grace's major research project has the working title 'Designing Domesticity: Advice Literature as Design Discourse in Britain and the USA, 1935-1985' for which she has been awarded AHRC Research Leave funds of £15,000 for 2007/8. In her published outcomes and her doctoral thesis, Grace demonstrates that focussed textual and visual analysis of instructional literature, in this case etiquette, homemaking and home decoration guidebooks is valuable for understanding ideal models of the consumption of design in the home in the post-war period.
Other work on mediation has involved the appeal to women in contemporary car advertising, and the way corporate literature can be used to imbue objects with personal narratives and myths of national identity using the case study of the Italian product design company Alessi. Another recent project, Dangerous Liaisons: Relationships between Design, Craft and Art, addressed the categorisation of artefacts and the discourses which surround them, proposing the utility of a method focussed on the points at which categories intersect. This project was the culmination of a long-standing interest in questions of hybridity developed during Grace's teaching for the Faculty's BA Hons Applied Arts. In sum, Grace researches what people say and write about design, the visual and textual discourses that surround objects.
Grace Lees-Maffei is interested in supervising research on the following themes:
- History and historiography of design, applied arts and crafts of all periods and especially the 19th-21st centuries
- The mediation of design in documentary sources such as magazines, advertising, corporate literature and advice
- The everyday and domesticity
- The consumption of design, fashion and taste
