School uniforms, dress codes and public responses: from museums to policy makers

School uniforms, dress codes and public responses: from museums to policy makers
-

As revealed in the research published by R. Shanks et al. (eds.) and A. Campbell Le Guennec and N. Coutant (eds.), school uniform continues to be a hot topic in the 2020s across the
world.

In France, school uniform is presented as a way of securing the secular nature of schooleducation and reinstating a sense of educational authority. In the UK school uniform ispresented as a way to mask income differences by providing a level playing field and thuspreventing competition and bullying as well as creating a sense of belonging to the school.

An international and interdisciplinary conference is being held to analyse thevariety of ways school uniforms and dress codes can be investigated. This conference willprovide an opportunity to discuss and debate the multifaceted nature of school clothing, andwhat is needed to rethink school uniforms and dress codes. Furthermore, heritage andmuseums will be included in this reflection, to identify the way object-based research andheritage can inform and influence social discourses.
