Professor Denise Baden: Inspiring Sustainable Practice

Plymouth Marjon University, Research & Knowledge Exchange Office

Professor Denise Baden, Professor of Sustainable Business at Southampton Business School, University of Southampton

&quot;Inspiring sustainable practice: moving beyond preaching to the converted&quot;The Marjon Academy Lecture Series, in association with SCION RKE Group. Denise will discuss optimal ways to motivate sustainable practices based on her research in the field of constructive journalism, business ethics education, sustainable hairdressing and eco-fiction. She will draw upon psychological theories of motivation to show common misconceptions about how to effectively promote pro-environmental behaviours and suggest alternatives. A key aim of her research and numerous outreach projects is to move beyond preaching to the converted to engage those who would never dream of watching a climate change documentary.Denise Baden is a Professor of Sustainable Business at Southampton Business School, University of Southampton.
