I’m interested in fashion and children. Thus, I would like to prepare my presentation on the topic of “Children’s Clothing.” Some of the questions that I would like to analyze are: Why and what is the purpose of gender agreements in clothing? What is the meaning of colors in clothing.? Also, as we all know, unlike older children, babies and toddlers do not have interference in choosing their clothing, which reflects the attitude and beliefs of adults. Consequently, I would like to discuss the connections between the history of gender differences in dressing and the culture of children’s clothing, and their role in gender identity during early childhood. In addition, I would like to explore the history of children and consumerism in the fashion industry and its interferences in clothing behavior. I think it will be great if I can also show how children’s clothing has changed through the years in terms of colors and styles. If you like the topic, let me know. Thank you.

Hannah Coleman- Picture Book Workshop
Hello!
I am interested in turning to media made for children, especially illustrated literature. An ideal use of my workshop time would be to be paired with a person, or couple of people, and explore their topics of interest as it manifests in picture books. Specifically, I would be excited about thinking disability studies, adoption, or childhood sexuality in, with, and through picture books. Given the limited class time available, I would likely need to focus the scope of books chosen to a specific geographical area and/or time period. Hope this is a helpful starting point, happy to try and flush out more details if needed! – Hannah Coleman
