THE NEW SCHOOL | http://www.newschool.edu Veil Dressing & the Gender Geopolitics of 'What (not) to Wear' - Dr. Marianne Franklin, associate professor and director of the Global Media & Transnational Communications, Goldsmiths, University of London. PARSONS THE NEW SCHOOL FOR DESIGN | http://www.newschool.edu/parsons Presented by Parsons The New School for Design and The New School for Public Engagement, this workshop continues conversations begun in Spring 2011 at the annual conference of the International Studies Association in Montreal, instigated by Dr Andreas Behnke, under the title of "Being Fab in Dangerous World: Gendered Bodies and the International Fashion World." The intention of bringing some of the contributors of that event to The New School is to consider further the wider political contexts and agendas under which fashion impacts and interacts with social, material and corporeal functions in the context of geopolitics and biopolitics in the 21st century. The workshop, which is open to those with varied and diverse interests in fashion, and politics, will also serve as a means of planning for a larger conference to be held at Parsons/The New School in Spring 2013.
