  • Hoosier Women at Work Studies in Indiana Women’S History
    HOOSIER WOMEN AT WORK STUDIES IN INDIANA WOMEN’S HISTORY Session 1: Women, Work, and War March 2016 The Impact of World War II: Mexican American and Japanese American Women at Work in Indiana Nancy N. Conner* Two groups of women, each representing a distinctive minority community within Indiana, earned a place in the history of Hoosier Women at Work as a result of World War II. In different ways, the war brought Mexican American defense workers in northwest Indiana and Japanese American factory workers in Indianapolis into the Hoosier workforce. Industry provided the impetus for twentieth-century development of numerous cities in The Region, that is, the northwest Indiana counties of Lake, Porter and La Porte. One city in particular has a long history of Mexican immigration, dating back more than a hundred years. That city is East Chicago, Indiana, on the shore of Lake Michigan. Although East Chicago is the formal name of this city, it was once called the “Twin City,” comprised of East Chicago on the east side of town and a section known as Indiana Harbor on the west side. Indiana Harbor was home to Mexican immigrants – many originally from Jalisco, Guanajuato and Michoacán – who came to work in the nearby steel plants. To this day, the population of East Chicago is slightly more than 50% Hispanic.1 A confluence of factors led to this unusual demographic. As the great steel mills of The Region rose to prominence around the turn of the twentieth century, they became a magnet for new *Nancy Conner served as Director of Grants & Novel Conversations at Indiana Humanities from 1982 until her retirement in 2016.

  • Green Brand of Companies and Greenwashing Under Sustainable Development Goals

Thus, stakeholders try to invest in green companies and projects; consumers prefer to buy eco-friendly products instead of traditional ones; and consumers and investors refuse to deal with unfair green companies. In this case, the companies should quickly adapt their strategy corresponding to the new trend of transformation from overconsumption to green consumption. This process leads to increasing the frequency of using greenwashing as an unfair marketing instrument to promote the company’s green achievements. Such companies’ behavior leads to a decrease in trust in the company’s green brand from the green investors. Thus, the aim of the study is to check the impact of greenwashing on companies’ green brand.
