The Costume Society of America, Northeastern
Region (I) and the Lasell College Fashion
Department are pleased to announce the third
annual Student Research Forum. This event is
for student members, non-student members,
and interested students who are not currently
CSA members.
The forum will focus on students in New
England and the Eastern Provinces who are
studying some aspect of costume, textiles or
fashion, or a related area. Students from all
area colleges and universities in the region,
both undergraduate and graduate, are welcome,
and many will have the opportunity for a 10
minute presentation of their current academic
work. Each presentation will be followed by
10 minutes of feedback from a panel of
scholars and professionals in the field, as well
as audience members, in an effort to enrich
each student’s project.
This forum is a valuable venue for students to
discuss their work, interest and ideas in
fashion, receive constructive, positive feedback
and meet CSA members. Those students
wishing to present should either email Ned
Lazaro, CSA Northeastern Region Education
Chair, or fill out the enclosed registration form
and mail it with an abstract or copy of the
paper. Presentations are guaranteed on a firstregistered, first-served basis, with a maximum
number of 10 student presenters.
The forum will be held on Saturday,
February 10, 2007 from 1-5 p.m. at Lasell
College in Newton, Massachusetts. Light
refreshments will be served.
The cost of the forum is free, however
registration is required for both presenters
and attendees. Please fill out the
registration form and return by Saturday,
February 3, 2007, or email the information
to lazaro@historic-deerfield.org
