Season 4 Introduction

I haven’t started a new season of this podcast, which is a companion to my Textiles course at Texas State University because the course is complete. However, I know that some people are looking for a recent episode to decide if the podcast is worth the listen. I will also be uploading two episodes from a lecture I am giving at a University in Tokyo in December. So, if you new to TextileUpdate, please go back to Season 2 and set your setting to see the oldest episodes first. Start with the episode titled Fiber Properties 1A and then go in order through season 2 to get my full college course.

Cotton and Sustainability 1

Cotton is a popular fiber and this makes it a popular topic for research and development for sustainability. In this episode, I discuss the difference between conventional and organic agriculture in the United States and how this might impact the sustainability of cotton. My goal is to introduce concepts related to agriculture to my fashion students and explain how genetic modification is used in producing cotton that uses less pesticides. This is the first of a set of two episodes on this topic.

Cotton and Sustainability 2

How will changes in water availability impact the sustainability of cotton? With climate change, we see some changes in how much and what quality of water is available in different regions of the globe. Places that used to depend on rain to grow their crops might see less in the future while other places will deal with increased flooding or sea level changes. Cotton competes with food for water, so we need to keep this in mind when thinking about the future of fashion.
