Hello everyone! My name is Fairuzah Atchulo. I am a PhD candidate with the ERC Project China Africa Fashion Power (https://www.chinaafricafashionpower.org) under which I research on the consumption end of the China-Africa global value chains in Kenya and Mozambique. My PhD project is focused on standardized size and sizing systems and neo-colonialism in global fashion, which aims to examine the entangled histories of colonialism in global sizing systems and the inherent neo-colonialism still present in global systems and structures. I very much look forward to meeting each and every one of you! If there are issues you want to be addressed please contact me at: f.m.m.atchulo@uva.nl.
