Caroline’s work encompasses sustainable lifestyles with a focus on food consumption, material consumption and public engagement with climate change using mixed methods approaches. Committed to research impact, Caroline actively develops projects in collaboration with stakeholders (e.g. policy makers, NGOs, practitioners), especially in the food sector; establishing robust connections, particularly in the Welsh context and with policy makers in the UK.
In CAST phase 1 Caroline led the international part of the visioning work package that investigated what people in China, Sweden, and the UK consider desirable and feasible for a low-carbon future.
Caroline works as a lecturer at Cardiff University Business School and will remain involved in CAST phase two, especially through contributions to the development of the visioning toolkit in theme 1.
Prior to joining CAST, Caroline completed her PhD at the University of Sheffield Management School, where she investigated spillover effects from a workplace intervention aimed at reducing meat consumption to food behaviours in the home. She holds a BSc in Psychology from the University of Hamburg and an MSc in Environmental Psychology from the University of Magdeburg (Germany).
