C. G. Russell

Catherine Georgina Russell (Georgie): I am interested in understanding how and why people make food choices, undertake particular food behaviours and eat particular foods/diets, across the lifespan. My research investigates how psychological and social factors interact with biological factors and therefore provides insights into the mechanisms and processes underlying food behaviours and intakes, and consequently helps to identify opportunities for designing effective interventions. As well as this I am interested in consumer food science, including the influence of food marketing and advertising on food choices and perceptions and implications of this for interventions and policy to promote healthy and sustainable food systems.
