Dr Emre Tarim
Lecturer in Behavioural SciencesResearch Overview
My research is interdisciplinary as I focus on understanding human behaviour from behavioural and sociological perspectives in markets and marketing. Empirically, I focus on important societal issues mediated by markets and marketing such as sustainability and climate change, savings and investments, and migration. My research demonstrates how interdisciplinary research can help better understand the dynamics of stability and change in human behaviour in society, and how these insights can inform policy and practice to enhance individual and societal well-being.

PhD Supervision Interests
I am happy to supervise PhD projects on human cognition and behaviour in any marketing and market context, including financial markets and services marketing, energy markets (especially with a focus on energy transitions) and marketing at wholesale and retail markets, household savings and investment (especially with a focus on migrant households), and consumers and/or marketing professionals and their folk theories and practices in action. I am open to projects focussing on the UK and/or any other countries. Methodologically, I have expertise in ethnography, narrative methods, interviews, and corpus methods for analysing large textual datasets. I am happy to co-supervise projects using experiments and survey methods.
