Advancing Non-Representational Methods in Consumer Research

This project aims at advancing the theoretical and methodological applications of non-representational theory in marketing and consumer research.

Despite the speculative/conceptual nature of the project, proposals should include an empirical part whose research setting is relevant for marketing and consumer studies audiences.

While poststructuralist approaches are preferred, prospective students are free to draw on different theoretical positions, although clear positioning of the research proposal and strong arguments should be provided.

Qualifications required

A minimum of a 2.1 at Undergraduate and a merit at Masters, or equivalent international qualifications.

Subject backgrounds considered

Any subject background in the Humanities and Social Sciences, particularly (but not limited to) Marketing, Management, Philosophy, and Human Geography.

Experience/other skills and qualities required

Some experience in navigating theory (e.g., the ontoepistemologies of research methodologies) is expected. Some experience in conducting social scientific research is desirable, but not required.
