Supervision

Supervisory interests

Kat is interested in supervising doctoral research that explores social and cultural theory inspired considerations of marketing – specifically looking at consumer culture, clothing practices and digitalisation. She is interested in how consumers negotiate, interact and make sense of marketplace cultures. Her interests are around consumption practices, markets and the digitalisation of consumption and she is open to proposals reflective of these broader concerns.
