Her program of scholarship includes sustainability education and sustainable design and consumption. Dr. Armstrong’s educational research has explored pedagogical strategies, curriculum designs, and mechanisms for student engagement for the integration of sustainability within fashion-oriented disciplines. Her sustainable design and consumption work has explored how consumers experience attachment to fashion goods, consumer perceptions of innovative and sustainable business models, and most recently, mindful consumption. Her work as a Riata Faculty Fellow will focus on the sharing economy, leading entrepreneurship and merchandising students to collaboratively develop an innovative business platform that fosters the fundamental values of sharing. This initiative seeks to create a fruitful living lab for future learning and research.
