Research Expertise

Description

My areas of research interest seek to broadly explore the role and influence of marketing beyond commercial contexts, focusing on the interrelationship between marketing and society (for example, I am currently engaged in several research studies on public policy and marketing; food marketing and the obesogenic environment, data monetisation and privacy concerns; marketing and consumption- risk and escaping the marketing, "dark" side of marketing- dark tourism marketing; and social marketing.
