Following our Fashion & Pedagogy State of the Field event in 2019, we began compiling a resource list that includes bibliographies for Fashion and Textile History/Culture, Archives and Databases that contain fashion and textile related materials, Organizations and Collectives useful for research, and Teaching Tools including (but not limited to) methodologies, lesson plans, blogs/websites, podcasts to help navigate social change, health crises, and unexpected circumstances. The content is crowdsourced by members of the FSA community, building upon our workshops and ongoing discussions.
