COOL CLASSES: "Industry and the Environment: Understanding Environmental Responses within the Textile Industry"

“Industry and the Environment: Understanding Environmental Responses within the Textile Industry”

This environmental studies class, taught by Visiting Assistant Professor of Environmental Studies Elisabeth Evans, is part of a Philadelphia Area Creative Collaboratives (PACC) project this semester. It broadly examines how the environment is impacted by the textile industry.

Our Cool Classes blog series highlights interesting, unusual, and unique courses that enrich the Haverford College experience.

As part of a PACC project, the class partnered with Hidden City Philadelphia for a trip to historical manufacturing sites in Philadelphia including Globe Dye Works. See what other courses the Bi-College Department of Environmental Studies is offering this semester. Photo: Alexandra Iglesia '21
