Assistant Professor in Marketing, Business and Society, University of Bath

Dr Annayah Prosser is an assistant professor in Marketing, Business and Society at the University of Bath School of Management. She is the Deputy Director of the Centre for Qualitative Research. Her research explores the importance of events and identities for creating positive change in the world. She is also a contributor to the edited book ‘[Psychgeist of Taylor Swift](https://rkowert.com/psychgeistofpopculture/ "")’, due to be published on December 13th 2024.

Her primary research interest concerns how individuals and groups respond to societal crises, such as the climate and ecological emergency. She explores how our group identities can both help and hinder societal transformations, and why some groups act in more prosocial and proenvironmental ways than others. She also explores how events such as festivals and mass-gatherings can impact our personal and social identities.

She is also interested in how organisations, policy makers and activists can help to promote societal change towards more sustainable futures. She has worked with a number of governmental and non-governmental organisations, including: the Scottish Government, Northern Ireland Government, the British Standards Institution, Nottingham City Council and BaNES Council. She is always looking for new opportunities to collaborate and bridge the gap between academia, organisations and the public.
