• 7PM:听Environmental effects of Covid restrictions: lessons learned

  Host: Professor Claudio Piani

  In these awful times of COVID-19, we have learned two things that will affect how we take on the current Climate Crisis. The first is that there are immediate environmental returns, in the form of air and water quality improvements, from abrupt societal behavioral changes. And the second is that we are indeed capable of changing our behavior drastically and in a very short time, albeit in response to a strong enough motivation.听

• 6PM: Sustainability in Fashion: Corporate Communication听

  Host: Professor Renate Stauss

  By now seemingly every major fashion brand has incorporated some sort of sustainable/ eco/ green/ organic/ ethical/ fair-trade range into its collections. Does this form part of an eco-re-branding exercise or an actual shift in the outlook of one of the least sustainable industries? Between 鈥済reen鈥� fashion and greenwashing. We will consider and question the rise of the discourse of sustainability in the current representation of fashion. We will analyse the visual and verbal language that is mobilised to describe, promote and sell 鈥渟ustainable fashion鈥�. The limits of current sustainability discourse are discussed, taking into consideration the dominant ideology of environmental consciousness and social corporate responsibility as well as the underlying one of a free market economy, of capitalism with an artificially accelerated desire for newness.
