Burgon Talks & Congregation 2026
Posted: 18th July 2026
Burgon Talks : Thursday 20th and 27th August 2026
Looking to open up more informal discussions on 'anything academic dress', Nicholas Rowe offers a series of two talks on the topic of 'What are Academic Dress Studies, and Why are They Relevant?' They examine the scope of those who come into contact with academic dress and introduce fields of study that combine multidisciplinary interests with a focus on academic dress. These free talks and exchanges take place online between 19h-20h (BST). Further details can be found at https://burgon.org.uk/events
