In the past decade, significant shifts in consumer behaviour have been driven by the rise of online shopping. However, a recent resurgent longing for the in-store experience has led to a growing number of consumers desiring the embrace of a sustainable lifestyle. Join Dr Helen Powell as she navigates through this newfound desire for sustainability, unraveling it's challenges, which shape our identities.

Her achievement of the Principal Fellowship of the HEA, focusing on embedding employability into the curriculum, reflects her dedication to integrating sustainability goals. As an author, Helen has numerous publications on the intersection of promotional culture and consumer behaviour, with a particular emphasis on themes of time and space.
