Dr Georgios Patsiaouras

I re-joined the School in September 2011 as Lecturer in Marketing, where I completed my PhD degree in 2010. I hold an MSc in Marketing (distinction) awarded by the University of Leicester in 2006 and previously I studied Business Administration (BA 2004) at the University of Macedonia (Greece).

"My research interests lie in the area of consumer research and marketing theory. I am particularly interested in conspicuous consumption phenomena, sustainable consumption, cultural and historical readings of marketing phenomena and consumer behaviour. I am also interested in: a)the symbolic meaning of luxury brands. b) macro marketing and sustainability (water resources). c) how institutional forces have shaped the development of marketing/consumer behaviour concepts and ideas."
