A series hosting fashion studies scholars and museum professionals who consider a social justice lens in their scholarship on dress and fashion. We aim to reject white supremacy, abelism, homophobia, transphobia, fat phobia, xenophobia, and other forms of bias in our future practices related to documenting fashion histories. This series is one part of this new mission as we hope to encourage critical dialogue in these sessions.
