The Knitting in Early Modern Europe (KEME)
project was funded in part by an individual
post-doctoral Marie Skłodowska Curie Research Fellowship
from August 2015 to July 2017 (grant agreement 656748)
awarded by the European Commission. KEME continues with
the support of
The Tudor Tailor
and the Agnes Geijer Textile Research Foundation,
Stockholm, Sweden.
Marie Skłodowska-Curie Individual Fellowships are
awarded to enhance the creative potential of experienced
researchers, diversify their technical or scientific
expertise, and acquire new interdisciplinary skills
through advanced training in another EU country. Dr Jane
Malcolm-Davies received a MSC fellowship to work at the
Centre for Textile Research, Copenhagen from August 2015
to July 2017.
Initial research into medieval and early modern gloves
was funded by a
Janet Arnold Award, administered by The Society of Antiquaries of London,
which is an educational charity founded in 1707 to
promote understanding of the human past. The Janet
Arnold Awards are intended to further in-depth study of
the history of dress and the materials from which it is
made.
