SUMMARY:The Inaugural Baker School Academic Symposium
DESCRIPTION:The Jay and Patty Baker School of Business and Technology holds its first-ever academic symposium featuring nine sessions with 20 speakers from the school presenting their cutting-edge research.  See the full schedule below. \nThis event is for the FIT community only.  \n\nWednesday\, March 8\, 8:30 am-4:30 pm\nJohn E. Reeves Great Hall \n8:30–9:15 am: Refreshments and Baker School Research Poster Viewings  \n8:30–9 am: Unconventional Research Poster: Dr. Shireen Musa\, International Trade and Marketing  \n“As societal and environmental injustices are increasingly prevalent\, expectations for organizations to implement sustainable practices\, such as Fair Trade\, have grown. Previous research has demonstrated that Fair Trade consumers have the emotional attribute of compassion and the educational trait of desire for sustainability awareness. This paper builds on prior research by introducing consumers’ spiritual attribute of past life belief (PLB)  and positing the effect of PLB on Fair Trade consumption (FTC). The article is novel as it is the first to introduce and  link the spiritual attribute of PLB to FTC\, while addressing racism\, religious discrimination\, sexism\, classism\, societal and environmental stewardship\, and nationalism” (Musa\, S. 2023. In Press with the Peer-Reviewed Journal of  Scientific Exploration).   \n9:15– 9:30 am: Welcoming Remarks by Baker School Interim Dean Shannon Maher  \n9:30–10:15 am: Dr. Jennifer Lee\, Fashion Business Management\n“The use of emerging technologies in interdisciplinary experiential learning projects”  \nThis presentation will introduce how different emerging technologies were incorporated into the two collegewide  interdisciplinary experiential learning projects called the Loop for Good and the Legacy\, Diversity Meets Technology\, which Dr. Lee has been serving as a project lead. Founded in 2019\, the Loop for Good has made continuous growth  and evolutions as FIT’s collegewide interdisciplinary experiential learning project focused on sustainability and  technology under the President’s Sustainability Grant since 2019. The 2022’s fourth project demonstrated an innovation on the creative process through various 3D digital and physical fashion products created by over 120  students and faculty across the college (Journey to the Loop for Good 2022 Video).  \nThe Legacy: Technology meets diversity is another college-wide interdisciplinary experiential learning project focused  on emerging technologies contributing to diversity and inclusion in wider society. As a project lead and instructor of  the project\, Dr. Lee taught the student participants about how to conduct research on the cultural aspects and history  of dress\, how to illustrate the concept of diversity and inclusion in fashion design\, and how to visualize the design  ideas in a 3D digital and a physical garment format. The project was funded by the President’s Diversity Grant (2022- 2023). The first design exhibition of the project will be held in The Museum at FIT lobby as a part of the Black History Month events (2/10 – 2/28\, 2023).   \n10:30–11:15 am: Professor Catherine Geib\, Fashion Business Management\n“The evolution of Millennial and Gen Z consumers on Fast Fashion\, Social Media and their buying  patterns on Sustainable fashion”  \nThis paper will report the 2021 results of a six-year study of quantitative primary data on the fashion apparel buying  habits of millennial and generation z consumers of fast fashion\, their relationship with social media and how those decisions have affected the respondents opinions on being sustainable in their clothing purchases. The final research  study completed in 2021 will be the focus of the current paper with the similarities and differences analyzed from the  2016 and 2018 quantitative data. Conclusions will be reported and best practices that have come to light from the  studies revealed.   \nThe following questions will be answered: 1. Has awareness been raised in the past six years on sustainability amongst  the survey respondents? 2. What are the changes in the buying patterns of fast fashion over the past six years\, and are the differences measurably different? 3. Are there changes in the way young consumers use social media in their lives? 4. Finally because of income level\, social media influences and the Covid 19 pandemic\, has change on sustainable practices been intensified in the 2021 research? The paper will examine from the data accepted sustainable methods such as the resale and rental market and companies that have adopted these sustainable practices. It will conclude its results as the final paper in the six-year study.   \n11:15–noon: Professor Christine Pomeranz\, International Trade and Marketing\n“Priming the Global Fashion Sector for Digital Currencies”  \nJoin Professor Christine Pomeranz and Queens College Professor Jian Xiao to learn how the eYuan\, China’s  Central Bank Digital Currency\, is expected to revolutionize the luxury fashion industry by promoting economic and  cultural inclusion. They will introduce digital payments and the renminbi digital payment landscape. In addition\, they  will discuss how the fashion industry can protect its exposure and the related accounting considerations.  \n12:15–1 pm: FIT Interdisciplinary Panel\n“How to Teach Business and Labor History: An Interdisciplinary Collaboration”  \nJoin Dr. Kyunghee Pyun (History of Art)\, Professor Robin Sackin (Fashion Business Management)\, Dr. Daniel  Levinson Wilk (Social Sciences)\, Professor Meeta Roy (Fashion Business Management)\, Helen Lane (Instructional Design Librarian\, Gladys Marcus Library)\, and Dr. Rebecca Bauman (Modern Languages and Cultures) to learn about how FIT faculty from the Baker School and the School of Liberal Arts and Sciences are collaborating on interdisciplinary research.  \nThis session will present a three-year interdisciplinary research project called Shop Girls to Show Girls: Teaching Resources on New York’s Working Class for Community College Students funded by the National Endowment for the  Humanities\, Education Grant from 2021 to 2024. There have been three modes: 1) Inserted segment in the form of mini lesson: anecdotes like film clips or interview used prompts to emphasize labor conditions\, sometimes using life experiences of teachers or known figures; 2) A full lesson plan with a unit of more structured teaching using readings\, digital resources\, lectures\, and discussions to spend 3-6 hours; 3) A new course: some faculty fellows are writing a new course focusing on a specific industry’s labor conditions or a group’s working conditions. The website (laborstudies.fitnyc.edu) makes types of materials available: film clips\, newspaper articles\, job ads\, lyrics of popular  songs\, census data\, art works\, graphic posters\, and panelists will emphasize upcoming opportunities for collaboration: presenting at conferences\, writing a book together\, or applying for research grants.   \n1:15–2 pm: FIT Sabbatical Committee Panel\n“How to Conceive and Execute Research Projects”  \nJoin Professor Nancy Ostroff (Fashion Business Management) and Faculty Senate Sabbatical Committee  members: Dr. Kyunghee Pyun (History of Art; chair of the Sabbaticals and RTR Committee)\, Professor Karen Trivette (Head of Special Collections and College Archives\, Gladys Marcus Library)\, Professor Michael Coan (Jewelry Design\, School of Art and Design\, Chair Emeritus)\, and Professor Meg Joseph (Global Fashion Management\, School of Graduate Studies) to discuss the framework of research\, the sabbatical application process\,  qualifications for a sabbatical\, and answer your questions.   \nThis session is to promote campuswide opportunities available to the faculty. “Research” is more accessible than  one can imagine. Members of the Faculty Senate Committee on Sabbaticals and Release Time for Research will share anecdotes and examples of successful applications in the past. Professor Nancy Ostroff will discuss her application for the sabbatical\, which she was awarded. “Research” is applicable to the entire faculty as it is defined as a systematic investigation into a problem or situation. Usually\, academic research questions tend to me more conceptual and theoretically focused while professional research or applied research focuses on solutions to  problems and issues—practical and professional. Changing industry standards and operational environments should  be areas of research.   \n2– 2:45 pm: Professor Delphine Horvath\, Cosmetics and Fragrance Marketing\n“Journey of writing my first textbook and tips for publishing your own”  \nFor the 2021 Fall Term\, Professor Delphine Horvath was awarded a Release Time for Research Grant to support her  project of conducting preliminary research for a new textbook she is co-authoring\, Cosmetics Marketing: Strategy and  Innovation in the Beauty Industry. This will be the first textbook devoted solely to cosmetics marketing. Professor Horvath will share the main steps involved in her journey of writing a textbook and the tips for publishing your own\, such as things to consider when choosing a publisher\, signing the contract\, applying for a grant through Faculty Development Grants and Awards\, building the timeline until the delivery of the final manuscript and beyond. The textbook is now available for preorder on the Bloomsbury website with a publication date in July 2023.   \n2:45– 3:30 pm: Dr. Imran Islam and Dr. Ajoy Sarkar\, Textile Development and Marketing\n“Potential for cotton yarns in winter wear: An exploratory study”  \nThis study was an investigation into the viability of cotton yarns for full-fashioned apparel. The objectives of the study  were to develop a method to introduce crimp in cotton yarns prior to knitting followed by comparing thermal  properties among knitted structures made from different yarns. The knit-de-knit technique was utilized to impart  artificial crimp in cotton yarns and labeled “de-knitted” cotton in this study. Full Cardigan and 1×1 Rib structures were  knitted using four types of yarns- regular cotton\, de-knitted cotton\, wool\, acrylic on a flatbed knitting machine. Results showed that full cardigan structures had better intrinsic thermal resistance than 1X1 Ribs. Additionally\, 1×1 rib with  de-knitted cotton exhibited higher thermal resistance than regular cotton with more favorable properties such as  greater thickness and weight.   \n3:45– 4:30 pm: Professor Robin Baxter\, Fashion Business Management\n“Trends in Cotton Sourcing”  \nThe presentation is a derivative of the work engaged in by Professor Sonja Chapman (Home Products Development) and Professor Robin Baxter (Fashion Business Management)\, which focused on the use of data to assist companies  in identifying sourcing options for apparel outside of China. The presentation explores patterns in cotton sourcing that  emerged post implementation of the 301 trade sanctions by the Trump administration\, as compared to patterns in  cotton sourcing that are developing post passage and implementation of the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act.  \n4:30 pm: Closing Remarks by Baker School Interim Dean Shannon Maher

SUMMARY:MakerMinds Event: Crochet\, Knitting\, and Code!
DESCRIPTION:Coding\, knitting\, and crochet share structural similarities: They are all information expressed in symbolic abbreviations. Because of these similarities\, knitting has been used historically to convey coded messages. In this workshop\, we offer the chance for students to knit or crochet their own short messages in either Morse or ASCII codes. We’ll demonstrate ways to translate these into fiber and help students understand why this works. \nThis event is for the FIT community only.

SUMMARY:Globally Connected @ FIT: Sashiko and Cultural Sustainability for the Japanese People
DESCRIPTION:Atsushi Futatsuya.\nEngage with sashiko\, a traditional Japanese embroidery type\, in this conversation with Atsushi Futatsuya\, sashiko artisan and founder of Upcycle Stitches. \nSashiko (Japanese for “little stabs”) is an old Japanese mending technique that originated from a very poor community in Japan. Fast forward to today\, the technique has been adopted by big brands\, such as Kenzo and Maison Margiela. According to Atsushi Futatsuya\, sashiko introduced in English is not wrong\, but unfortunately\, it isn’t usually introduced or described in its entirety. \nThis virtual discussion will explain what sashiko means and represents to the Japanese people\, as it is often communicated with missing elements and can be romanticized in Western culture. Moderated by Cultural Fellow Hinako Ishii\, Fashion Business Management\, who is an international student from Japan. \nAtsushi Futatsuya was born into the third generation of a surviving sashiko family in Gifu prefecture. He grew up with sashiko\, surrounded by thread\, needles\, and fabric. He launched the “Sashi.Co” project with his mother\, Keiko\, who has over 30 years of experience in sashiko stitching as a platform to introduce masterful works of sashiko. \nIn 2017\, Atsushi began introducing the beauty and philosophy of sashiko to the world through his website and workshops as “Sashiko Story.” His website is upcyclestitches.com. \nHosted by the Office of International Programs\, History of Art\, and the Cultural Fellows. \nThis virtual event is free and open to the public; REGISTER HERE.

SUMMARY:Exhibition: Elizabeth Hawes: Along Her Own Lines — Closes
DESCRIPTION:Elizabeth Hawes\, ivory\, purple\, and lavender striped brocade evening dress (detail)\, c. 1936\, USA\, gift of Mrs. Dudley Schoales\, 69.156.6          Elizabeth Hawes\, multicolor cotton\, handknit man’s jockey shorts (front view)\, 1964\, USA\, gift of Barnes Riznik\, 88.65.3             Elizabeth Hawes       \nMarch 1–26\, 2023\nGallery FIT\, The Museum at FIT \nElizabeth Hawes: Along Her Own Lines is the first contemporary exhibition dedicated to the gifted American clothing designer\, author\, and labor activist\, Elizabeth Hawes (1903–1971). The show opens at a crucial moment when Hawes is especially relevant\, because her activism and innovative philosophies correspond to the concerns of today. Hawes criticized the exploitative\, classist nature of the fashion industry and sought to revolutionize it in her own creations\, and through her writing and unionization efforts. She created gender nonbinary clothing and encouraged women to embrace their unique bodies with an open-minded positivity that was ahead of its time. Hawes further used writing and journalism to challenge the fashion industry from the inside\, and called for people to think consciously about what they wear—with words that remain influential. \nRead the full description on The Museum at FIT’s website. \nThis exhibition is presented by students in FIT’s Fashion and Textile Studies: History\, Theory\, Museum Practice MA program.  This program builds knowledge in fashion and textile history\, object conservation\, and exhibition theory over the course of two years. During their second year\, students utilize the interdisciplinary skills they have acquired through the program to collaborate with The Museum at FIT\, developing and installing an exhibition of fashion objects from MFIT’s collection. \nThis exhibition is free and open to the public.

SUMMARY:Jock Peters\, Architecture and Design: The Varieties of Modernism
DESCRIPTION:THIS EVENT HAS BEEN RESCHEDULED FOR APRIL 25 AT 4 PM. \n          Christopher Long.                 \nRetail design\, fashion merchandising\, set design\, furniture\, packaging\, interiors\, architecture\, fine art rendering… little-known architect and designer Jock Peters\, a largely forgotten figure of early Los Angeles modernism\, did it all. Professor Christopher Long presents his new book titled Jock Peters\, Architecture and Design: The Varieties of Modernism by Bauer and Dean Publishers. The book is a visually rich portrait of an architect whose most internationally lauded creations include the lavish commercial interiors for the iconic Bullock’s Wilshire store in Los Angeles and the tragically forgotten Hollander department store in New York City. \nAmong Peters’s early work in Germany are the Levantehaus and Karstadt department stores\, a magnificent glass pavilion from 1916\, and his work for Peter Behrens after the war. But\, the architect’s most accomplished and compelling work came after 1922 when he settled in Southern California. \nLong’s study on early modernism includes material from the architect’s personal archive\, still in family hands. The remarkable images in the book—more than 250 historic photographs\, etchings\, watercolors\, and drawings—alongside Long’s narrative\, demonstrate how Peters\, despite his early death\, managed to leave his mark on the modernist landscape in Southern California at a time when the new style was just emerging. \nChristopher Long is Martin S. Kermacy Centennial Professor of Architectural History at the University of Texas at Austin. He has published widely on modern architecture and design in Central Europe and the United States. \nTHIS EVENT HAS BEEN CANCELED; IT HAS BEEN RESCHEDULED FOR APRIL 25. Visit the new listing.

SUMMARY:Film Screening: 'Till' and Q&A with Writer/Executive Producer Keith Beauchamp
DESCRIPTION:  \nBased on the true story of Mamie Till-Mobley\, Till depicts her pursuit of justice after the murder of her 14-year-old son Emmett in 1955. The film uses 27 years’ worth of research by Keith Beauchamp\, whose efforts led to the reopening of Till’s case by the United States Department of Justice in 2004. Directed by Chinonye Chukwu\, the film stars Danielle Deadwyler as Mamie Till-Bradley\, with Jalyn Hall\, Frankie Faison\, Haley Bennett\, and Whoopi Goldberg in supporting roles. \nThe tale of Emmett Till and his legacy is a true story of black resistance that kickstarted the battle for civil rights in America. According to Beauchamp\, who co-wrote and produced the film\, “There is no other story that speaks more to this generation and to this political climate and racial climate of this country than the story of Emmett Louis Till.” \nProfessor Dahlia Schweitzer\, from FIT’s Film and Media program\, will moderate a conversation with writer and executive producer Keith Beauchamp following the film. \nThe screening will take place in Room D207\, FIT’s screening room\, in the Pomerantz Center\, on the campus of FIT. \nSponsored by FIT’s Social Justice Center\, FIT’s Film and Media Program\, the School of Liberal Arts\, and the Justice Film Festival. \nThis event is free and open to the public; RESERVE A FREE TICKET ON EVENTBRITE.
