Research area(s)

My research centres on the convergence of well-being and conscientious consumption practices, embodying my vision of a world where individuals celebrate their diversity in harmony, thriving through cooperation, while preserving the environment and transcending cultural, ethnic, and ideological boundaries. 

Adopting the principles of societal marketing, my work offers insights into the pivotal role of consumers in shaping a future that champions environmental consciousness and social responsibility. I believe that individuals hold the power to drive positive societal transformation through their daily consumption choices and behaviours.

My research is inherently interdisciplinary, and I actively collaborate with charitable organisations, businesses, and policymakers. By bridging the divide between academia and practical application, I strive to translate my research findings into tangible strategies that effect meaningful change and societal impact. My work is featured in reputable publications including the British Journal of Management, Annals of Tourism Research, International Marketing Review, Industrial Marketing Management, Journal of Business Research, among others.
