THRART 200 - Enlivening Cultural and Gender Identities Through Dress

3 Credit(s) | Lecture | Graded or pass/fail
Course can be counted for credit once

Description:
This course will study context-specific dress codes from around the globe and the USA. It will be divided into four parts: Guilds and Heritage, Festive Spirit and Human Geography. Reenactment and Living History, and Costume Play and Culture. Students explore how the mobility of people, ideas, and practices, across a variety of borders, reflect the choice of dress as an indicator of contemporary social experience within a global cultural environment. This course provides a space for students to experience and embrace diversity by drawing upon Boston community members who represent a breadth of global populations. This class is a hands-on, interactive course designed with the support of the Mellon Foundation.
