The Costume Research in Australasia seminar will offer an opportunity for mentoring and feedback to postgraduate research candidates, early career researchers and academics conducting research in the emerging field of performance costume studies, or in related artistic fields involving dress and performance.

NIDA is pleased to host this inaugural seminar which will take place over two days on Tuesday 14th and Wednesday 15th November.  The two day long event will involve short presentations by researchers on their work in progress. Following each paper researchers will receive feedback from a panel lead by Key Respondent Professor Sofia Pantouvaki from Aalto University, Helsinki.

The event will include an informal social gathering on Tuesday night at a nearby restaurant at participants’ own cost. There will also be an opportunity to view NIDA’s graduating courses exhibition and tour the NIDA costume production facilities.

Lunch, coffee and morning tea is available at participant’s own cost at the NIDA Café, the nearby University of NSW Kensington campus, or bring your own.

Metered parking is available adjacent to NIDA in the UNSW car park (entry via Day Ave) or limited street parking is available around the area.

Presentation Submissions Deadline – October 29th
 

If you are interested in presenting please register, pay and provide your title, abstract (200 words) and biography (150 words) by Friday 29th October.

It is intended that submissions for presentations should come from either Doctoral or Masters by Research candidates, early career researchers, designers engaged in scholarly research, as well as scholars engaged in post-doctoral research projects. The focus is on research in progress rather than on completed conference papers, though we welcome presentations that are being developed for presentation at other conferences and events, or for publication.  We are limited to 20 presentations over the two days, so please get in quick to make sure yours is included.

Presentations should be 20 minutes in length and AV projection will be provided.
