Through the Looking Glass, Caroline Knowles, Professor of Sociology at Goldsmiths University, invites you to the launch of her new book, Flip Flop. The book follows the global trail of one of the world’s most unremarkable and ubiquitous objects – flip-flops – from extraction of raw materials, to manufacture, distribution and consumption. Through this unique lens, Caroline Knowles takes a ground-level view of the lives and places of globalisation’s backroads, providing new insights that challenge contemporary accounts of globalisation.
