Share Your Fangirl Fashion Experience With Academia

I recently had the chance to participate in an interview for a doctoral thesis on fangirl fashion. From the author:

The purpose of this study is to understand women’s motivations for wearing science fiction and fantasy fan dress within various settings and social contexts. [P]articipation would entail taking part in an easy online interview using a chat page that works similar to instant messaging on Facebook.

If you’re interested in sharing your experience contact Dina Smith at the email noted in the flyer below.
