Dr. Sandra Niessen is an anthropologist concerned with clothing and textile traditions around the world, especially in Indonesia. She studies textile design, technology, dynamics of clothing change, and the circumstances of craft producers on the margins of the global economy. Dr. Niessen studies forces that compel indigenous producers to sell to tourist markets and the associated transformations in their cultures and symbols; forces that pull peasants out of villages and into sweatshops; the power of fashion advertising worldwide, particularly its effects on women; the history of museum collecting; and the struggle of fair trade organizations to mitigate the effects of 'business as usual' on textile producers. She and her students have conducted fieldwork in Indonesia, Thailand, Mexico, India, Australia, Indonesia, and Africa. Currently Dr. Niessen directs the Healthy Dyes Project focused on the health implications of textile dye use by small-scale weavers.
Dr. Niessen is co-director of the Eco-House and teaches courses related to sustainable lifestyles.
