Junious Sichali
Junious Mabo Sichali is a PhD Student at the University of Bath, based at Malawi Epidemiology and Intervention Research Unit. He studies Young People, Gambling Advertising and Harm Prevention in sub-Saharan Africa. His project seeks to understand how the gambling industry targets young people with sophisticated marketing mechanisms and how we might develop a harm-prevention response to this marketing. The project uses semiotic analysis of gambling advertising which is a method to examine how advertising is encoded with meanings, symbols and signs designed to influence an individual’s perception of the brand and stimulate explicit intentions to purchase a product.
