2024 CSA National Symposium Call for Submissions
The Costume Society of America and the Mid-Atlantic region are pleased to announce a call for submissions for the 50th Annual Meeting and Symposium to be held in the history-rich heart of Washington, DC, May 21 through 25, 2024. As the Society’s 50th anniversary year ends, this symposium will provide members with the opportunity to look forward to the future of fashion and reflect back on the history of dress. The intent of the symposium is to provide a platform to discuss theoretical and practical research, designs, and innovations to foster understanding and stimulate scholarship in the widely varied topic of dress. While reflections on the scholarship of dress history since the founding of the Society in 1973, as well as predictions for the future of fashion, are welcome, all topics related to dress and adornment will be considered. Collaborative and interdisciplinary scholarship are encouraged as are topics which demonstrate diversity in subject matter and research.
The submission form, as well as rubrics and instructions for each type of submission, can be found in the call for submissions by clicking here. The deadline for the call is October 15, 2023.
