</b>Abuse of workers abounds in the production of apparel, including
MIT-licensed clothing. <br>
<br>
Universities have a large role to play in developing and implementing
solutions to these problems. <br>
<br>
Prof. O'Rourke has conducted extensive research on issues related to
sweatshop labor, and especially about the role that universities can play
in addressing the problem. He will talk both about sweatshop labor, the
problems associated with it, and what can be done about it right here at
MIT.<br>
