Andy Reilly (FCS) recently was awarded a “Paper of Distinction” award during the 2017 annual conference of the International Textile and Apparel Association for the paper “Dress, Body, and Experiences of Victimization,” co-written with Kim Johnson of the University of Minnesota. Their research, which was supported by a USDA HATCH grant, included interviews with people who have been bullied, harassed, or assaulted due to their appearance. The article will be forthcoming in an issue of Fashion, Style, and Popular Culture, so check it out soon!
