Courtauld History of Dress Association
Annual Conference on
"Dress and Gender"

2-3 July 2004,
Courtauld Institute of Art,
University of London, England.

From the cod-piece to the corset, dress has been key to the construction
of gender in specific historical contexts. This conference seeks to
re-visit the relationship between dress and gender in history, a line of
scholarly inquiry that benefits from increasingly sophisticated and
nuanced research.

Papers are solicited that draw on a wide variety of approaches and address
a range of issues. Topics may include: the sartorial performance and
display of masculinity and femininity in visual sources; the place of
gender in consumerism and the feminization of fashion; the gendered
framework of the clothing trades, including the participation of women as
makers and suppliers. The conference is open in terms of historical and
geographical focus. Please send a one-page abstract and C.V. by December
19th, 2003.
