Research Expertise

Research Interests

Jonathan's core research interests focus on sociological and geographical informed approaches to retail markets and marketplace behaviours. Central to his research is an understanding of consumer experience and shopping practices in relation to technology (such as the internet, AI, VR, and self-service operations) and retail design (primarily store brands), as well as the changing nature of retail markets and their implications for the choices of different consumer groups (e.g., consumers with disabilities, and older shoppers).
