Dr Nicole Bulawa
Lecturer in MarketingResearch Overview
Nicole joined Lancaster University Management School as a Lecturer in Marketing in April 2024. Prior to this role, she worked as a Research Assistant and Ph.D. candidate at ESCP Business School Berlin, examining the trajectories of practices, markets and value in technology-based research contexts. Some of her work from this period got published in the Journal of Business Research, Marketing Theory and Electronic Markets alongside two book chapters.
Building on her doctoral thesis, Nicole's main interest lies in studying how markets are built and changed, especially those in transportation, such as electric vehicles and sleeper trains. Through her research, she aims to shed light on the dynamics of sustainable markets, contributing to the ongoing conversation about environmental sustainability in modern market contexts.

PhD Supervision Interests
I am open to discussing the supervision of PhD students with a broad interest in market dynamics, looking at how markets develop or are changed by actors. Relevant bodies of literature are market-shaping / market-making and theories of practice (market and consumption practices). Potential topics could range from early-stage or future markets, sustainable markets, market interconnectedness, market infrastructure or market malpractice. Applicants should be open to exploratory qualitative or mixed methods approaches.
