Josi is joined by Dr Carolyn Downs, who works on a range of subjects, including adult social care, problem gambling, and access to entrepreneurship for disadvantaged groups in society.

An important aspect of Carolyn’s research is speaking to and working with the people on the ground affected by the issues she is researching. She takes this work into her teaching around problematic consumption with consumer behaviour modules.

She also discusses Disneyland, Stonehenge and druids, and African safaris in the context of authenticity and tourism; and how you can bring theories learned in the classroom to life.
