In 2021, Janet joined the Department of Management at the University of Exeter Business School. Before that, she completed her postdoctoral training at the University of Chicago. In her research, Janet focuses on the interplay between language use, thinking, decision-making and behaviour in the contexts of sustainable consumption, prosocial behaviour, health, and ethics. The ultimate goal of Janet's experimental research is to promote better decision-making and behavioural change.
