- Responsible consumption and production: Our research encompasses exploring the three pillars of sustainability: economic, environmental, and socio-cultural and how they intersect in the context of food production and consumption, nutrition, tourism, hospitality, or events management.
- Leadership & socially just organisations: Our research concerns both employee workplace experience (emotional labour and well-being, deviance and toxic personalities, equality, diversity and inclusivity) as well as the end user or other stakeholders experience (accessibility, inclusivity). We are also interested in the transformative role leadership within socially just organisations can have on communities.
- Digital transformation: We are seeking to investigate how digital and technological advancements are disrupting marketing techniques and customer experience management in the context of events, hospitality and tourism management but also in a food, nutrition and public health context.
- Sustainable supply chain management: Our research addresses how supply chains can become green and transparent, driving service delivery and improvements.
If you are an international applicant, please note that you will need an IELTS certificate with overall score of 7, and 7 score in each skill. Also, as the GTA studentship only covers home fees, you will need to pay the differential between home and international fees.
