Jennifer joined the Department of Management at the University of Birmingham in July 2021. She holds a Ph.D. in Sociology from the University of California, Davis. Her thesis explored how consumers co-create value in a market for a sustainable product, focusing particularly on how consumers resolve the challenges of market coordination and exchange.

Before joining the Department of Management as a Lecturer in Responsible Business, Jennifer worked as a researcher at the University of California, Davis, where she focused on responsible business challenges, including gender equality, labour health and safety, sustainable energy, and climate action. In 2019, Jennifer joined the Lloyds Banking Group Centre for Responsible Business and the University of Birmingham working on a Proctor & Gamble funded project exploring urban sustainable consumption in developed markets. Other recent projects include an ESRC funded study exploring scenario thinking in localizing the UN Global Goals. Jennifer’s current research focuses on sustainable consumption, circularity in bottom of the pyramid markets, and climate change related public health risks.

Jennifer’s teaching currently centres around responsible business; and the related themes of business ethics, sustainability transitions, and governance. She is currently collaborating with the Centre for Responsible Business to create research-led teaching and learning resources to promote responsible business education.

Jennifer’s teaching is focused on Responsible Business, which she delivers at both an undergraduate and postgraduate level:

• Responsible Business: Theory and Practice (UG)
• Principles of Responsible Business (PG)
