Sustainability in the Apparel Marketplace
Dr. LeHew’s scholarship focuses on fostering the transition to a sustainable marketplace through research, education and outreach. Her research endeavors are two-fold, including 1) investigating methods firms can use and are using to satisfy consumer needs through ecologically sustainable products and processes as well as effective inducements to increase such strategies, (2) examining barriers to ecologically sustainable consumption practices, with a focus on apparel purchase and consumption, as well as exploring techniques to intensify such behavior while reducing ecologically harmful consumption practices.
