Research interests
I have studied consumers as market actors, evolving consumption environments, and responsible marketing and consumption topics. As both marketing and consumption have remarkable footprints on social and ecological well-being, reducing the negative effects is vital. I work on projects that aim to foster sustainable culture and create positive effects on well-being. My goal is to create and share new knowledge that helps advance sustainable marketing and consumption that respects social and ecological boundaries. To that end, I am developing marketing approaches to tackle the complex ecological crises, climate change and biodiversity loss. I am currently working in the BIODIFUL project consortium which aims at mainstreaming biodiversity awareness across society.
