Dr Shalini Vohra

Senior Lecturer In Marketing


Summary

I am the course leader for MSc Branding and Consumer Behaviour. I am an expert in consumer psychology and frequently invited to contribute to discussions by broadcasters such as the BBC. I am a member of the All Party Parliamentary Group on a fit and healthy childhood. My research on autism in children's literature has featured in The Conversation and I’ve been invited to share my research across universities such as the University of Cambridge and Sheffield Institute of Education. I earned my PhD in Marketing from Manchester Business School and investigated the relevance of corporate reputation on investor decision making, in particular on regret. I then went on to explore the relevance of emotions and emotion regulation on the work of traders as a research fellow at the Open University. I have been awarded funding by SAMS, NARTI and ESRC in connection with projects that focus on ECR development as well as autism in children's fiction.

My research interests include consumer psychology, psychology of finance, autism and it's portrayal in children's literature, fit and healthy childhood, emotions and early career academics.
