These conditions are back, characterizing up to half the US apparel industry and are typical in the global rag trade as well. This seminar will explore the new sweatshops, and what we can do about the problem. The course will develop student skills in using the Internet as a serious research tool to supplement but not replace libraries. Fulfills the Comparative Perspective requirement.
