- I am currently organizing the The Digital Multilogue on Fashion Education 2024: On Grief, Exnovation and The Power of Mutual Learning Facilitated by The American University of Paris, France, online event, 10 October 2024 (with Prof Franziska Schreiber)
- The Digital Multilogue on Fashion Education wants to create connections and actions within and across different fashion learning cultures and contexts. It was founded in 2019 as a participatory and outcome-oriented space and a series of conferences focused on the learning and teaching of fashion. It aims to explore and illustrate the diversity and complexity of the field and the practices of fashion education, and to foster a greater understanding of its pasts, presents and futures – methods, values and didactic, pedagogic and epistemological questions – creating a global exchange to inspire mutual learning, collaborative research and shared action.
- The rich and inspiring contributions and proceedings of the last Digital Multilogues on Fashion Education are open access. Watch and listen to some of the most inspiring voices in and around fashion education: Tanveer Ahmed, Ben Barry, Zowie Broach, Sunny Dolat, Matthew Drinkwater, Kimberly Jenkins, The Malvestidas, Sarah Mower, Alistair O’Neill, Sandra Niessen, Yvonne Ntiamoah, Dilys Williams and many many more.
- Fashion is a great teacher: The fashion education podcast. I recently launched a podcast on learning and teaching fashion (with Franziska Schreiber).
- Fashion is a great teacher because it provides a fantastic lens to learn about the world and its people, about history, politics and culture. Join Renate Stauss and Franziska Schreiber, professors of fashion theory and fashion design in Paris and Berlin to discover the most inspiring voices in fashion education, their take on the how and why of learning and teaching fashion, their doubts and hopes, their lessons from fashion. Episodes include interviews with: Dilys Williams, Valerie Steele, Zowie Broach, Alistair O’Neill and Christina Moon, Tanveer Ahmed, Rahemur Rahman, Sandra Niessen.
