Alice Janssens receives DAAD grant

Alice Janssens receives DAAD grant for dissertation project archival research on the Business History of Interwar Berlin Fashion.

History department PhD candidate and lecturer, Alice Janssens, recently received a short-term research grant from the Deutscher Akademischer Austauschdienst to continue a period of German archival research for her dissertation project “The Rise and Fall of Berlin as a Fashion Capital: 1924-1939”. The grant supports the last two months of a six-month research trip in Germany where Alice Janssens is based at Humboldt University Berlin as a visiting scholar.

About this project:

The aim of this dissertation is to complete an economic and business history analysis of the Berlin fashion industry during the 1920s and 1930s. In particular, this study proffers views into the internal and external makeup of the sector, considering economic impact, institutional infrastructure and embeddedness within international fashion networks. Through this, the work intends to address the dearth of English language literature and business and economic history research on the Berlin fashion industry.
