I could re-watch that time and time again. It's absolutely fascinating, to watch the whole process of making the #yarn and #knitting those shawls. And I just love the accent.

This is "only" sixty years ago - nearly in my lifetime. Some things look so familiar from my youth. And some seem to be in a much more distant past.

An introduction repeat, now that I'm moving instances.

I'm a dress historian with an interest in all things #adornment and #MaterialCulture. I'm interested in the #HistoryOfDress, #HistoryOfTextiles, and the #EarlyModernAtlantic.

I have a book in copy edits with MQUP right now on the dress culture of early #Acadia, and a paper coming soon in Textile History on #weaving in Scottish Cape Breton. You'll hear a lot more about these as publication gets closer.

My current big project is on #spurs and #EarlyModern #masculinities, and I teach a four-course sequence on global #FashionHistory at Dalhousie University.

@HilaryDoda i am excited for all the #HistoryOfDress, #HistoryOfTextiles, and #FashionHistory content you might share!

I am a historian of #gender at the University of #Edinburgh, with a special interest in #labourhistory, #historyoftextiles, and modern empires. I write on industrialisation, temporal standardisation, women’s cotton and silk manufacturing in colonial India and Ottoman Anatolia. I run postgraduate and undergraduate courses on #feministtheory, #economichistory, #globalhistory, the late Ottoman Empire, and South Asia. I also teach a bit of #Marx, on occasion 👀
