    Biography

    Laura McAndrews received her Ph.D. and M.S. from the University of Missouri. Before returning to academia, she worked for nine years in the fashion industry in product development, design and research and development for Ralph Lauren, The Gap and Anthropologie. She also received her A.A.S. in Fashion Design from Parson's School of Design and B.S. in Fashion Merchandising from Kansas State University. Since 2015, Laura has been an assistant professor of design and product development at the University of Georgia, where her teaching has focused on bringing her industry experiences into the classroom while developing the design and product development emphasis. Her overarching research focus is in the interconnectedness of the people in the global apparel supply chain, asking the question: How can researchers and educators shatter the mainstream illusion of the fashion industry to amplify all voices participating in the global apparel supply chain? She is thrilled to join the School of Fashion and learn and grow as an educator and researcher from the esteemed faculty.
