This is an ongoing class structured to be casual yet informative. Although the primary focus is sustainability as it relates to fashion, content will vary from week-to-week depending on student interest. Below is an outline: September 3rd: Sourcing ⇢ Unpacking the fashion supply chain. September 10th: Communications ⇢ Greenwashing! What is it and how does it happen? September 17th: Transparency ⇢ An exploration of sustaianbility reporting. September 24th: Policy ⇢ What role does regulation play in achieving sustainability? October 1st: Advocacy ⇢ How can people support industry change? I encourage students to lead the conversations with topics of interest. However, I will guide the flow and occasionally lecture or share supplemental media. This stated, there is no formal homework. Students can join as often or as little as they would like to learn!
Learning Goals
Students will improve their knowledge of the fashion industry and gain skills applicable for a career in the field.
