In this lab-based course, senior students propose and produce a professional academic event such as an exhibition or symposium. Students will have the opportunity to work on both individual and collaborative projects that disseminate fashion studies knowledge beyond the classroom and beyond academia. Students will begin the professionalization of their fashion studies with praxis, the combination of theory and practice, by producing fashion culture and shaping fashion discourse on history, theory, materials, methods and more. The course will introduce academic event planning and management with emphasis on community engagement and public facing activism.
