Professor Abby McGowan delivered a fascinating lecture on 10/24 on the topic of:
At Home with the World: Globalization, Fashion, and the 19th-Century Home
The description of this talk follows:
Snug parlors, lavishly ornamented bonnets, and cozy cottages: although all evoke particularly EuroAmerican ideals and experiences, all were equally influenced by global forces. In this talk, McGowan explores the global ideas, products, fashions, and styles shaping home lives in the nineteenth century.
