Julie Stanton received her B.S. in Economics from Georgetown University, and her Ph.D. in Agricultural Economics from the University of Maryland. Dr. Stanton’s expertise is in consumer interest in organic and other niche foods, and in food marketing channels between developing and developed country markets. Dr. Stanton has published in respected peer-reviewed journals such as the Journal of Macromarketing, Journal of Consumer Marketing, Research in Consumer Behavior, Journal of Consumer Behaviour, and Supply Chain Management. She serves as Associate Editor for the Journal of Macromarketing, is on the Policy Board of the Macromarketing Society, as well as the Board of Directors for the Eastern Academy of Management. She is co-editor of a special issue of the Journal of Macromarketing on quantitative assessment and modeling of macromarketing constructs.

In her teaching, Dr. Stanton seeks both to create capable business professionals as well as to foster their greater sensitivity to the global business environment. Because of her experiences gained over a decade of working with the World Bank in Washington DC, she encourages students to examine course topics in the context of developing country conditions. Her research expertise in topics related to sustainability also guides her approach to teaching. These skills are important preparation for careers in business today.

Outside interests include spending time with her family, working on home improvement projects and travel.
