Design and Merchandising Department Head Receives Malone Award for International Education Efforts
Posted Friday, September 25, 2009
Mary Ann Littrell, chair of the Design and Merchandising department at Colorado State University, is among three 2009 winners of the Michael P. Malone International Leadership Award, sponsored by the Association of Public and Land-grant Universities.
The Malone Award, established in 2000, honors those who further international education in public higher education. The award, dedicated to the memory of Michael P. Malone, was established to provide national recognition for a career of outstanding contributions to furthering international education at public and land-grant institutions.
Littrell's groundbreaking study of fair trade and social responsibility in the apparel industry has illuminated her exemplary leadership as professor and chair of the Department of Design and Merchandising at Colorado State University.
Her research yielded new methods to address the fair trade marketing system that bridges artisans' need for income, retailers' goals for transforming trade and consumers' concerns for social responsibility. Littrell also explored how countries like Guatemala and India can promote and market textiles for the U.S. market that appeals to American taste while offering a fair return in the form of a living wage. Throughout her academic career, Littrell's focus has been on increasing the body of knowledge of cultural dress and enhancing artisan enterprises for fair trade of cultural products through the land-grant mission of teaching, research and service.
