11:50 a.m., Feb. 2, 2009----Alexandra Harney, author of the acclaimed book The China Price, will give a free public lecture on Monday, Feb. 16, at 7 p.m. in Mitchell Hall on the University of Delaware campus in Newark as part of the Fashioning Social Responsibility Distinguished Lecture Series sponsored by the Department of Fashion and Apparel Studies.
At a time when the American economy faces its greatest crisis since the Great Depression, Harney's book, published by Penguin Press in 2008, takes readers behind the scenes of a country that is accused of exporting poisonous products, copying American technology and stealing more than a million U.S. jobs.
Drawing on research from her book, Harney will discuss the high cost of our reliance on cheap products, the role multinationals are playing in deepening China's environmental and labor problems, and what American consumers can do to educate themselves and make a difference.
Harney will be available to sign copies of her book after the lecture; the book will be available for purchase at the event.
Harney, an American citizen who speaks Japanese and Mandarin, has been involved with Asia for 18 years. She is a freelance writer, researcher and frequent lecturer on China and corporate social responsibility. Her work has appeared in Time, the Wall Street Journal, and the Washington Post, and will soon appear in the Atlantic Monthly.
For most of a decade, she was a reporter and editor in Japan, China and the UK for the Financial Times.
A graduate of Princeton University with a degree from the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs, Harney currently lives in Hong Kong.
The Fashioning Social Responsibility Lecture Series is co-sponsored by the Department of Fashion and Apparel Studies; the College of Human Services, Education and Public Policy; and the UD Office of the Provost with additional support from the Lerner College of Business and Economics.
The purpose of the series is to expose a diverse campus and community-wide audience to a range of issues and perspectives associated with social responsibility and sustainability in the fashion industry and to encourage positive action in response to the ideas presented through the series.
For more information, call (302) 831-8713 or e-mail [fashion-studies@udel.edu].
