Dr. Jie Sun
Dr. Jie Sun received her Ph.D. from the University of Manchester and is currently a Senior Lecturer in Fashion Management at DMU. Her teaching interests are largely within the context of fashion and related services, with a particular focus on consumer-based strategies and related research approaches.
Her teaching work in the UK builds on six years of university teaching in China. She is able to adapt delivery styles to the specific needs of her students based on these two different approaches, incorporating both Eastern and Western styles of education.
In terms of her teaching philosophy, she believes in a more applied and hands-on approach to teaching, with learning extending beyond the classroom. She enjoys being supported and encouraged in the wider conversations that take place in the wider learning environment.
