Short CV

Laura Sophie Stanszus, born 1984, studied business administration in Berlin and Singapore (BA) as well as Corporate Social Responsibility (MSc) in Nottingham, UK. In her research, she focused on the substance of sustainability in the fashion industry as well as the discourse of youth consumers about green fashion. As part of an internship in the CSR department of Ernst & Young India, she conducted a survey on the correlation between the rise in disposable income of the Indian middle-class and consumer awareness of organic food and fair trade.
After her studies, Laura Stanszus helped building up the master programme Sustainability in Fashion at the International University of Art for Fashion, ESMOD Berlin.
From March 2012 onwards she works in the project "live and work sustainably [3]", which is funded by the German Federal Foundation for the Environment (DBU) (scheduled until 06/2014).
From March 2015 until February 2018 she has been working in the project “Education for Sustainable Consumption through Mindfulness Training (BiNKA)” [4]funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) [5]. Additionally, she did her PhD dedicated to the project theme.
