Dressing the World: A Global History of Clothes, Bodies, and Imagination

Professor and Historian Giulia Calvi recounts the history of clothing, bodies, and imagery all around the world. Calvi stresses that clothing can exemplify geographical origin, gender, social status, ethnicity, age, profession and religious affiliation. As a former history professor at the University of Siena and the former chair-holder of Gender History in the Department of History and Civilization at the EUI, Calvi is well versed in the intertwinedness of clothing, history, and gender.

Join us for a conversation with Calvi and EUI cultural and modern history professor Carolotta Sorba on Tuesday November 25th. The conference will begin at 6 and be followed by aperitif. RSVP Required.
