Research and creative activity:

Perin is a dress historian with a background in object research and the construction of historical聽garments. Her doctoral work considered the use of livery and mourning as forms of political and performative dress in late medieval and early Renaissance Scotland, with an element of visual reconstruction. She is also聽interested in examining developments in the cut and construction of clothing, and the ways in which clothing both shaped and extended the body and identity, from the early medieval period through the early twentieth century. She loves working as an educator, and has experience both in the museum and heritage sector and in teaching at the undergraduate level.聽聽
