Symposium "Jewish Dress, Migration and Persecution in Modern European History" Thanks to Dr Svenja Bethke for a fascinating presentation. Dr Eliza McKee StanleyBurtonCentre College of Social Sciences, Arts and Humanities #JewishDress23

Excellent #JewishDress23 StanleyBurtonCentre symposium today. In l-h image I'm speaking a bit about Nazi Aryan-labelled 'Adefa' garment in workshop session.

Thank you for your inspiring papers and excellent organisation. How much can be done with textiles (and dress labels!) as historical sources!

I wrote a blog on early 20th century #missionaryexhibitions and #postcards as part of my research at Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology, and would like to hear from other scholars interested in this still under-studied topic #twitterhistorians #museumhistorians #exhibitionhistorians #materialculture

Getting lost in churches in the Balkans. Or: Memento mori 🔥☠️. Here in the Church of Holy Trinity in Hrastovlje, Slovenia.

A beautiful beautiful beautiful collection of seashells engraved for commerce by convicts in Nouméa, New Caledonia. Now at the Historical Site of lle Nou. Much more than 'souvenirs' with merely monetary value for the maker.

This is great to all those interested in the history of #materiality and #crafts in their global context. Delighted to take part in this project, and very curious to learn about other research. CFP open here 👇 crafthistoryworkshop.com #craftshistory #arthistory #materialculture

Finally saw at the Pavillon des Sessions, Louvre, this intriguing 'sculpture tahitienne' from the Society Islands. The only LMS object in Paris museum collections. Such a spectacular & very special basketry in coconut fibres & tapa, which is believed to contain a holy essence
