Curriculum Vitae

Bio

Dr. Domenique Jones earned her doctorate from the University of Tennessee in Retail, Hospitality, and Tourism Management with an emphasis on Retail and Consumer Sciences and certifications in Women, Gender, and Sexuality and Qualitative Research. She has taught various undergraduate courses in Retail and Fashion Merchandising and has retail experience as a Sales Associate, Management Intern, Assistant Buyer, and Business Analyst. Her research agenda surrounds the social psychology of dress and seeking to understand the barriers of appearance for marginalized consumers. Specifically, she is interested in gender issues, intersectionality, and objectification. Her goal is to be a part of the change toward a multicultural and diverse corporate climate, as she believes she can use her platform for social justice and reform in the fashion industry.
