Stark Lecture
featuring
Kelsey Timmerman
Author of “Where Am I Wearing: A Global Tour to the Countries, Factories, and People that Make Our Clothes”

Thursday, March 22
11 a.m.
Sherman Center
Free and open to the public; limited seating.

Kelsey Timmerman is a freelance writer and author whose work focuses on globalization, travel and social responsibility.

Timmerman wanted to know where his clothes came from and who made them, so he traveled to Honduras, Bangladesh, Cambodia and China.  Along the way, he met the people who made his favorite clothes – his jeans, t-shirt, underwear and flip flops – and learned as much about them as he did about globalization itself. His believe is that if we reduce global issues to the stories of individual people, we can better see ourselves, our sons and daughters and hour hopes and struggles in one another.

Timmerman’s writing has appeared in the Christian Science Monitor, Conde Nast Portfolio and World Vision Report.

Copies of “Where Am I Wearing” will be for sale on site.
