VSNY is making plans for its annual “Emerging Scholars” event this fall, which will highlight recent scholarship about aspects of 19th-century and early-20th-century culture, including literature, architecture, theater, fine and decorative art, politics, manufacturing, education, gender roles, reform movements, fashion, and food. Recent topics for emerging scholars have included celluloid collar advertisements, New York brothel furniture, and a mining tycoon’s luxurious dinnerware. Three current university students or recent graduates will give 15-minute presentations. Stay tuned for details of 2020 topics and event scheduling.
