Research Seminars: Fashion Cultures and Histories

The research seminar Fashion Cultures and Histories is organized in collaboration between the Institut d’Histoire du Temps Présent within the French National Center for Scientific Research (CNRS) and AUP.  

It aims at encouraging, supporting, showcasing and disseminating fashion research; connecting academic and applied research cultures – people, work and institutions; facilitating an inter-disciplinary and international exchange of research methodologies, resources, findings, and collaborations; transforming, decentering and de-hierarchizing fashion research cultures and narratives; and heightening the visibility of fashion studies.
