Background

Overview

I joined Newcastle University in October 2016 in my first academic post as a Lecturer in Marketing after a diverse career in the private, public and Third Sectors. My research focuses on service innovation through increased participation in order to improve health and well-being. Participation can be through individual consumption (e.g. use of self-service and digital technologies) and cross-sector collaboration at the organisational level.

In 2020-21 I was Acting Degree Programme Director for NN52 BSc Marketing and Management; am the MOS Representative for the NUBS Development Group and was appointed Senior Lecturer.

Examples of student feedback

MKT2008 (20/21 remote delivery)

I think MKT2008 is great - the variety of cases are brilliant and the amount of topics covered are brilliant. Josephine is lovely, takes all points on board and always offers constructive ways to improve knowledge going forward. The amount of work given is enough to challenge us to properly learn about strategies, without being too much, and the structure of the weeks are something that I really like in comparison to other modules I study, as by setting out all of the work that will be covered during the semester allows me to properly schedule and plan when I will be doing my prep work, a couple of weeks in advance. In terms of the actual delivery of the module, I think MKT2008 is fantastic. 

The module leader is extremely interactive, without making students uncomfortable. When asking questions, the leader will help those along who are unsure of the answer, whilst developing the students knowledge when they do provide an answer. I personally appreciate the fact that the module leader has a friendly approach, as the environment within both seminars and discussion boards are extremely informative but relaxed. 

MKT2045 (20/21 remote delivery)

The style of the teaching and the atmosphere during meetings are really enjoyable.

MKT2044 (20/21 in person delivery)

Good - A lot of example ! really interesting

This module was very interesting, especially as it is essentially based on study cases.

I strongly loved module leader lectures since thet was really interesting and easy to understand

The lecturers were interesting and engaging. I also appreciated the inclusion of a guest lecturer form XXX and his professional input.

Learning about services, which are present in our daily life. The teacher made the subject interesting because of real case examples and the seminars were participative.

I loved this subject area because the marketing I already had was focus on object only. Here, I've learned all the attributes regarding services. It inspired me for my final thesis.

This course gave me the envy to study more in details the marketing of services in my future studies. The lecturer was fascinating thanks to her experiences and her wish to teach us what she knows, in the best way she can.
