American Historical Association Annual Meeting
I will be attending the American Historical Association’s Annual meeting in New York City, which starts (officially) on January 2 and runs through January 5. If you are attending, feel free to stop by the UC Press booth in the exhibition hall to say hi. Though I’ll not really be able to attend any of the sessions, I thought I would highlight some of the talks being given that relate to costume and fashion history.
