Our Photo of the Week series has returned and we’re kicking off with Elizabeth Falkowska’s research photo in collaboration with  (Senior Lecturer in Marketing) for this project. This weekly series features photo entries taken by our academics, students and professional staff for our annual Research Photography Competition, which gives a glimpse into some of the fantastic research undertaken across the ¶¹ÄÌÊÓƵ community.

Elizabeth Falkowska is a final year undergraduate student in BA (Hons) Business Studies with Marketing.Â
