The ADH Lecture & Conversation Series
Winter 2020/2021

Hosted by The Association of Dress Historians

Please direct any questions to communications@dresshistorians.org.

Series Overview:

This winter, ADH members are invited to join the inaugural Lecture & Conversation Series via the virtual platform zoom.

The series will bring together Lectures from emerging scholars studying or practicing within the fields of dress history and fashion studies, along with Conversations from authors of articles published in The Journal of Dress History.

Our hope is to create a space for ADH members to shed light on particular topics within both dress history and fashion studies, and for the exchange of knowledge to be facilitated at a time when in–person conferences and networking events are challenging to hold.

For more information and for the series programme, please view this document.

These events are free to ADH members.
