ABSTRACT

Th is activity is designed to enhance preservice teachers’ understandings of several themes related to geography, global economics, and social justice. It also provides preservice teachers with interdisciplinary methodological approaches that can be used in introducing their future students to these themes. We explore topics such as manufacturing and trade relationships in the global apparel industry; labor markets and the corporate interest in minimizing production costs in the global economy; and working conditions and worker exploitation in the garment industry as social justice concerns.
