Dr. Jung E. Ha-Brookshire is an Assistant Professor at the University of Missouri-Columbia in the Textile and Apparel Management Department. She received her Ph.D. in Consumer, Apparel, and Retail Studies in 2007 from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro. Prior to her Ph.D., Dr. Ha-Brookshire has worked as a production assistant, production coordinator, production manager, and sourcing manager for Adjmi Apparel Group and Richard Leeds International, Inc. located in New York City since 1997. During her time in NYC, she extensively traveled to various countries in Asia and Central America for textile and apparel product sourcing, product development, production coordination, and quality assurance. After 7 years of hard work in NYC, she realized that she wanted to spend more time on passing what she has learned onto other people who are interested in this fascinating industry. To do so, she came back to school to earn a degree and joined the TAM department in the Fall of 2007. Dr. Ha-Brookshire’s husband, Richard Brookshire, has retired from Microsoft, Corp. where he had had his 17-year career and both now happily live in the country. 

Research Interests:
Dr. Jung Ha-Brookshire’s primary research interests originate from her 8-year professional work experience as a production/sourcing manager in NYC. The areas of her research interests include global sourcing strategies, firm/industry identity issues, and corporate/consumer social responsibility practices in textiles and apparel market places.  In addition, she is currently investigating student learning outcomes from experiential learning, problem-based learning, and study aboard programs. She believes that a great learning can be achieved in today’s globalized environment while experiencing the world, solving actual problems, and reflecting the self with a broader perspective.
