TULLOCH Carol
READER
BiOgrAPhY Carol Tulloch is Reader in Dress and
the African Diaspora. She is a member of the
Transnational Art, Identity and Nation research
centre (TrAIN) and the TrAIN/V&A Fellow in
the Research Department of the V&A. She was
principal investigator of the Dress and the African
Diaspora Net work (2006–07).
Carol has written about and curated exhibitions
on dress and black identities, style narratives
– the telling of self – cross-cultural and transnational
relations and cultural heritage. Additionally,
her research has reviewed historical
‘truths’ to present alternative perspectives
on the black body, dress and place. Currently,
Carol’s practice has developed to consider
how individuals negotiate their sense of self
within diverse contexts – locally, nationally
or internationally. Her work now includes other
groups with similar experi ence and/or cultural
collaboration with people of the African diaspora
in order to develop a dialogue in the telling
and place of individuals and groups. These issues
were considered in publications such as: Out of
Many, One People?; The Relativ ity of Dress, Race and
ethnicity to Jamaica, 1880–1907 (1998); My
Man, Let Me Pull Your Coat to Something: Malcolm X
(2001); and Strawberries and Cream: Dress,
Migration and the Quintessence of englishness (2002);
Black Style (editor, 2004); Interconnecting Routes:
Networks, Dress and Critical-Creative Narra tives
(2007); Resounding Power of the Afro Comb (2008);
and the exhibitions Nails, Weaves and Naturals:
Hair styles and Nail Art of the African Diaspora,
A Day of Record (2001), Tools of the Trade: Memories
