Her research interests focus on cultures of consumption, and their interrelationship to consumer identity and consumption choices. Most recently, Dr. McNeill's work has focussed on overconsumption and sustainability action in production, retail and consumption, with research that examines fashion and textile waste, disposal and slow fashion business models. Other work examines consumer attitude and behaviour in regard to food choices, including the efficacy of food labelling strategies and consumer views of clean meat products. Dr. McNeill teaches research methods at a postgraduate level, as well as innovation and new product development at an undergraduate level.
