This year's seminar explores politics and fashion. This is an especially relevant topic as we begin the second year of the Trump administration. As in the past, speakers from a variety of perspectives have been invited to address the topic. The seminar is an advanced class designed to bring together subject matter from the entire TMD curriculum.
