Philippa teaches marketing at undergraduate and masters levels. She also delivers research methods training for doctoral candidates and is a doctoral supervisor. She enjoys creating a participatory environment and working on issues brought into the classroom by the contributors and by external organizations.
Philippa’s research is undertaken collaboratively with colleagues internally, and externally – both in the UK and internationally. Her most recent work focuses on exploring two research streams. Firstly, she is leading a cross-institutional transdisciplinary team examining consumer responses and vulnerabilities to buy-now-pay-later (BNPL) services. This activity is aligned with Finance in Society Research Institute and has garnered support from commercial interests.
The research has significant capacity to generate societal impact and policy outcomes. Secondly, Philippa continues to explore value cocreation in different contexts to enrich contemporary understandings through transdisciplinary perspectives. In both streams, the research is undertaken through innovative approaches, including mobile ethnography, story stem completion and visual techniques.
