| Sector | Academic/University |
| PI Contribution | I facilitated a practical workshop at both Rose Bruford College (3 May 2019) and Uppsala University (27 September 2019) on late seventeenth century and early eighteenth century dress making, and the construction of early mantuas. |
| Collaborator Contribution | The students from both institutions undertook making reconstructions of early mantuas as part of the workshop. The analysis of this practice-based research is feeding into my theses, looking at how techniques were borrowed from different crafts in the early years of mantua-making. |
| Impact | Multi-disciplinary - Rose Bruford students were from either the Costume Production or Theatre Design courses, at Uppsala University the majority of participants were former Textile History students who are now working as professional tailors and dressmakers. |
