        Teaching Interests

        Athina is the Programme Leader of the Msc in Strategic Marketing. She also teaches marketing and cosnumer behaviour at both undergraduate and postgraduate level.

      • Research Outputs &
        Interests

        Athina's research interests lie in the area of consumer consumption with particular interest in the psychological factors that influence morally dubious and illegal situations (piracy, fair trade, sustainable consumption) in the areas of retailing, music, media, entertainment, art, food and wine. Her research is driven by both academic rigour and relevance to practice.

        More specifically she is interested in:

        • investigating the motives and values of conscious consumers
        • gaining a greater knowledge on how morality affects consumer consumption 
        • understanding how enviromental sustainability claims influence consumer attitudes and intentions 
        • decribing the effect of idolatry on consumption choices

        Her publications have appeared in the Psychology & Marketing and  the Journal of Retailing and Consumer Services as well as in various international conferences like the British Academy of Management, the Academy of Marketing, the European Marketing Academy and the American Marketing Association.
