Jack completed a PhD in Cultural Geography at Cardiff University in 2020, which involved an ethnographic study of market traders. Following this, he took on several contract/freelance roles before taking on a post-doctoral role in 2021, at University of Sheffield Management School. This role involved contributing qualitative insight to the Household Simulation model for Food and Packaging Waste used by WRAP. In 2023, Jack published two single author papers from this research, and in 2024 took on a role at City St George's as a researcher / project manager, on a project investigating deep beliefs relating to food waste. Jack is currently working as a Research Associate in the School of Geography and Planning, on the multi-disciplinary Buddie-Pack project. This project is investigating reusable packaging, both household applications and systems and novel commercial use cases.
