Greetings!I'm BarbaraTrippeer- Welcome to my site!

Although fashion design education relies heavily on product-based learning, my approach to teaching enriches this focus by providing students with opportunities for transformational development, examples of which are included below. My purpose in teaching is to prepare future generations of designers to actively engage with ethical design and social justice issues to meet the challenge of sustainability utilizing emerging technologies.  Based on a blend of theory and application, I weave my research into the classroom at every level as a means to scaffold knowledge and connect theory with practice.  Four overarching themes guide my research and teaching: interdisciplinary practice, sustainable design, lifecycle thinking, and critical cultural theory. Please scroll down to see some examples of my work:
