Description
A faculty talk given by Robert J.S. Ross, Research Professor in the Department of Sociology and the Mosakowski Institute for Public Enterprise. This event took place January 25, 2016.
In Bangladesh in 2013, the collapse of Rana Plaza killed at least 1,138 garment workers and injured more than 1,500. The collapse was one in a long chain of disasters in the region and elsewhere that have taken thousands of garment workers’ lives. Ross traveled to Bangladesh to observe the second anniversary of the Rana Plaza collapse. In this talk, he will analyze the global apparel business which holds life cheap and profits dear and explore the positive changes and important initiatives that have emerged amidst the ruthlessness of the trade.
