Denise N. Rall
After re-defining disciplinarity in the field of internet studies for her thesis, Denise N. Rall (adjunct fellow – research) relocated her academic and artistic interests to fashion and textiles through the lens of critical sociologies of wearing garments to track their real-world social impact. Her talks include: ‘How can we “repair” repair?’ at the University of Sydney, ‘What is wearable art?’ at the Curtin University of Technology, and ‘“Dressing up” First Ladies: The politics of fashion in America’s White House’ at the University of Adelaide, South Australia. Rall delivered an invited lecture, ‘Fashion and war: Textiles and clothing after the Incas and the Spanish conquest of Peru’, to the National Gallery of Australia, Canberra, Australia. Publications include: ‘Women, craft and protest: Yesterday and today’ with Moya Costello, ‘The size of the problem with the problem of sizing’ with Lisa Hackett, and Denise served as the commissioning editor of two Intellect-published books: Fashion and War in Popular Culture (2014) and Fashion, Women and Power: The Politics of Dress (2022).
