With the proportion of classroom occupancies receding, those spaces that cannot be offloaded onto the internet remain — collaborative creative spaces among them. There are nearly 4000 colleges and universities with garment industry programs; nearly 600 in the United States. These institutions include specialized fashion schools, as well as larger universities and colleges that offer fashion programs or courses as part of broader art, design, or business degree programs.

Today we examine the safety and sustainability of the research and collaborative occupancies that enable this industry to train the next generation. It is a cross-cutting topic that draws from many catalogs.

The fashion and garment industry plays a significant role in shaping culture and society in many ways: Here are a few examples:

Self-expression and identity – Clothing and fashion can be used as a means of self-expression and a way to communicate one’s identity to the world. People use clothing to express their individuality, cultural heritage, and personal values.
Creativity and innovation – The fashion industry is a creative industry that thrives on innovation and new ideas. Designers and fashion brands push the boundaries of creativity and constantly come up with new styles and trends that can influence the broader culture.
Economic impact – The fashion and garment industry is a significant contributor to the global economy, providing jobs and supporting businesses in various parts of the supply chain. The industry also drives consumer spending and contributes to economic growth.
Sustainability and social responsibility – In recent years, the fashion industry has increasingly focused on sustainability and social responsibility, with many brands and organizations taking steps to reduce their environmental footprint and improve working conditions in the supply chain.
Cultural exchange and globalization – The fashion industry is a global industry that allows for cultural exchange and cross-cultural understanding. Fashion designers draw inspiration from different cultures and traditions, and fashion shows and events bring together people from all over the world to celebrate creativity and diversity.

Language Proficiency

“The first and most distinguishing feature of civil society is the use of language.”

Adam Ferguson’s “An Essay on the History of Civil Society”

“Minerva Preserving to the World the Latin Grammar”

Standard Practice for Assessing Language Proficiency

Committee F43 on Language Services and Products

One of the easiest ways to persuade someone who disagrees with you is to change the subject without them knowing about it. Application of this method is found in the technical literature that informs safety and sustainability regulations at all levels of government. Change definitions; change the subject; outcome changed — hence our interest in spoken, written and computer languages.

Almost all technical standards begin with a list of definitions which, among domain experts, are frequently hard won.

From the project prospectus:

Purpose—This practice describes best practices for the development and use of language tests in the modalities of speaking, listening, reading, and writing for assessing ability in accordance with the Interagency Language Roundtable (ILR)2 scale. This practice focuses on testing language proficiency in use of language for communicative purposes.

Limitations—This practice is not intended to address testing and test development in the following specialized areas: Translation, Interpretation, Audio Translation, Transcription, other job-specific language performance tests, or Diagnostic Assessment. Tests developed under this practice should not be used to address any of the above excluded purposes (for example, diagnostics).

This title was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade Committee.

As of the date of this post we find no changes in the titles developed by this committee; nor do we see any notice of meetings; likely owed to the circumstances of the pandemic. Last Update: April 2020

Language lies at the foundation of all standards-setting so we maintain this title on the standing agenda of several of our daily colloquia. Its an “evergreen” topic that we can explore every day in every title in every catalog Feel free to click in to any of our daily colloquia; login credentials at the upper right of our home page.
