Post Growth (?) Fashion Futures
There is a major gap between the world of academic research on fashion - and that of policy and business working in this area. Many important findings are hidden behind academic publishing paywalls and researchers’ voice is often missing from policy debates.
To change this, Post Growth Fashion Agency has launched a series of monthly webinars, conversations between Katia Dayan Vladimirova and the top research voices in the field of sustainable fashion. We ask simple questions:
What are the most important findings in research in your area?
What do you think about the future of fashion - and post growth in it?
Logistics
The webinars take place online once or twice a month on Friday afternoons (Geneva time). They are free to attend, all you need is to RSVP to get a calendar invite and the link. All webinars are also recorded and recordings are made available on our Substack channel to paid subscribers (symbolic subscription price $6 per month - the subscription could also be expenced as an educational resource with your organisation or institution).
