Research Interests
All of my research revolves around understanding why consumers make suboptimal decisions and helping them to make healthier and more sustainable choices. Contexts have included tobacco cessation, fuel efficient vehicle purchasing, anti-obesity campaigns, cognitive behavioural therapy as a treatment for depression, and freshwater sustainability and consumption. I use and appreciate both quantitative and qualitative methods, and highly value interdisciplinary research.
Keywords: Consumer decision-making, social marketing, sustainability, sustainable consumption, behavior change.
