Paper Abstract:
|
Using participatory action research (PAR) the current, ongoing, study aims to engage undergraduate fashion students at two U.S. institutions of higher education in extending their understanding of sustainable fashion. Through data collection processes wherein the students act as both researcher and participant, they will self-report on their clothing purchase and disposal habits. Upon completing of the data collection period, students will engage in a reflective process through group discussion with the aim of coming to conclusions about the growth of their own knowledge through this experiential learning assignment. The research question guiding this study asks, does participatory action research (PAR) improve student understanding about sustainable practices in the fashion industry? |
