If you can, jump on this call for papers – proposals are due tomorrow, July 15th, for Ixel Moda’s fashion congress to be held in Cartagena de Indias, Colombia – August 21-23, 2013.
Proposals will be accepted in English, Spanish and Portuguese for 20 minute presentations, as well as for participation in three 90-minute, interdisciplinary roundtable discussions:
Themes for the roundtables:
- What are the challenges to the future of fashion studies? (the format of design schools, collaborations among professors, etc.)
- What, how, and with what criteria should we conduct research? (methodologies, grants and funding, professional training, public scholarship, etc.)
- What and how should we teach fashion studies? (teaching and learning styles, career tracks, curricular development, methodologies in curricular design, etc.)
