The ‘if the shoe fits’ Advisory Board

Throughout the course of the project, the Advisory Board met twice a year to support and advise the research team. Members of the Advisory Board have a wide range of knowledge and expertise in relation to shoes, fashion theory and design, podiatry, qualitative (including visual) methods, gender studies, cultural studies, sociology, history and exhibition curation. All advisory board members were invited to contribute to the blog and to promote ongoing discussion.
