Dear colleagues, scholars and textile professionals,
Due to high demand and the current summer holidays, we have extended our call for papers for our 2nd DRESS Conference about The Complex Dimension of Clothing in Society on November 7-9, 2023 (via Zoom).
You can submit your abstract for your presentation by 1. October 2023 via [email protected].
We look forward to your submissions from historical, contemporary and interdisciplinary approaches to the topic and invite contributions from textile, dress and design researchers, dress and design historians, curators, conservators, archaeologists, and students and scholars in related fields, as well as writers, practitioners, educators and museum professionals who engage with the role of dress in society. The conference provides three tracks to discuss the topic from different perspectives and to interlink textile and design research and practice with data science:
Track 1 — Perspectives on Dress History & the Narrative of Clothing: How clothes & Textile Production characterize Societies
Track 2 — Data Digitalization & Structuring: What can we learn about Clothing & Society through Data Digitalization & even AI Learning?
Track 3 — The Political and Economic Dimensions of Clothing: From Sustainability & Production Concepts to affecting & even shaping Social Values
Please find the CfP with all topics below. Submissions from students and doctoral candidates are expressly encouraged!
The accepted papers will be published as papers in the second DRESS conference proceedings. However, this is not a mandatory requirement for submission.
We look forward to your submissions.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us at any time,
Your Dress Conference Team
