The Association of Dress Historians are delighted to introduce our one-day autumn New Research in Dress History Conference. The New Research in Dress History Conference welcomes submissions from researchers in the field of dress, textiles and fashion history.
We are particularly interested in hearing about new perspectives, new discoveries and new ways of sharing themes covering dress, adornment and its materials, untold global histories and connections, curatorial practices and conservation.
We encourage submissions from people at all stages of their career. We particularly welcome submissions from postgraduate students, recent graduates, emerging scholars, professionals and those who may consider themselves as being outside of established academia.
The call for papers will open on 9 February 2026
The deadline to submit papers is 27 April 2026, 11:59 pm GMT
Notifications of acceptance will be communicated by 20 May 2026
