Kwan urged audience members to avoid boycotts--which she said might end up hurting the workers--and to instead push corporations to follow through on self-imposed standards set for workers. She called for students to pressure Harvard, which Kwan said owns shares of Disney stock.
Kwan's stance on boycotts surprised some audience members.
"What I realized is that it's really important to take intelligent action," said Danna Katz, a Cambridge resident. "I was one that would boycott. Now I realize that's not really helpful."
