PhD Research supervision
I am interested in supervising PhD research into various aspects of the green economy, particularly transitions to sustainable production and consumption systems, and business strategy and policy frameworks for helping to deliver these. I have a particular interest in food systems and issues in sustainable rural development, but I am open to supervising sustainability topics in other areas.
Topics
- Developments in the circular economy, particularly challenges in scaling up
- New business models, sustainable investment and funding platforms

- Consumer engagement with circular consumption models
- Rural diversification.
