20-In-Person-A Brief History of Underwear
Fall or Spring Course | Registration opens 1/5/2026 6:00 AM EST
We all wear undergarments, but we seldom think about their design, history, or many social, practical, and sartorial functions. Join Dr. Eberle for a fun and informative two-part presentation about the history of both male and female underwear, from the ancient Greeks to our contemporary period.
