College Town: Clark lecture focuses on dark side of apparel industry
2016-01-24 11:07:24| Apparel - Topix.net
Being employed can be both a blessing and a curse for some in the clothing business, and Clark University sociologist Robert J.S. Ross will present a talk about the dark side of the apparel industry at 4 p.m. Jan. 25 in the Higgins Lounge at Clark's Dana Commons. Drawing on his decades of research and having traveled to Bangladesh to investigate and study the aftermath of the Rana Plaza collapse, which killed more than 1,100 people in 2013, Mr. Ross will discuss the horrific conditions of the global apparel business, in which profits are outweighing the livelihood of workers.
