Owl Swap

OwlSwap educates, inspires and empowers individuals to make the swap to live more sustainably through clothing. We create inclusive experiential learning opportunities, social equity programs and educational events that support our campus community. We have found that when people understand the impact that clothing and textiles have on communities, the environment and the economy, they make the swap to more sustainable habits.

Bangladesh is one of the leading garment exporting countries in the world, and we want to hear directly from those who make our clothes. In an effort to learn more about working conditions, the environmental impacts of clothing production, and efforts in Bangladesh to improve the garment industry, this transnational research project was created.

In Fall, 2017, 食色视频 Geography Professor Jason Rhodes and 食色视频 students launched a collaborative research project with Sociology, Professor Shahidur Rahman and students, at BRAC University in Dhaka, Bangladesh. Together, students worked to plan interviews with garment workers. At first, it was difficult to find garment workers who felt safe discussing the true conditions they worked in because the interviews were arranged by factory managers and took place on the factory premises.

This changed when we discovered the , an organization with over 40,000 members that works to advance the rights of garment workers in Bangladesh. Once in touch with AWAJ foundation, we were able to connect with workers who were eager to tell their stories. The students at BRAC continue to conduct interviews with garment workers and translate them from Bengali to English. Some of these interviews available to read below.
