The Textile Museum Journal, volume 52 (2025)

The Textile Museum Journal publishes high-quality academic research on the textile arts and serves as an interface between different branches of academia and textile scholars worldwide. International in scope, the journal is devoted to the presentation of scholarly articles concerning the cultural, technical, historical, and aesthetic significance of textiles through time and across cultures.

We are seeking article proposals for our 52nd volume to be published in 2025. This volume will celebrate the centennial of The Textile Museum‘s establishment, and will be devoted to new research on textile objects in The Textile Museum Collection. Submissions may examine any aspect of textiles from all historic and pre-historic periods, and geographic regions, as well as topics related to fabric structures, textile iconography, weaving practices, constructing and wearing clothing, and other subjects. Articles may include case studies on individual textile objects or analyses of a group of textile objects, which forward a greater argument or investigation about these objects’ cultural and/or technical contexts of production.

Deadline for abstract submissions: March 31, 2024. 
Deadline for full manuscript submissions: July 31, 2024.
