MORE and MORE and MORE: Change in clothing volumes and wasted textiles

Hybrid seminar Thursday, 6th of November 2025, 13:00-17:00 CET.
OsloMet, Pilestredet 35 / Online.

We cordially invite you to the combined end seminar of the CHANGE and Wasted Textiles projects.

The title and the illustration of the seminar are inspired by the book «More and More and More: An All-Consuming History of Energy» by Jean-Baptiste Fressoz, which describes how energy innovation has not led to energy transitions, but rather the use of more and more and more energy. We found this to be a suitable title also for a seminar that concludes two projects, which have studied the drivers of the increasing volumes of clothing from two different angles.

The seminar will be chaired by Prof. Kate Fletcher, MMU, and Jens Måge, SirkNorge and present central findings from both projects, ranging from historical knowledge to contemporary consumption and political implications of the research, through to following and future research.

While the final programme is still in the making, we invite you to save the date.
