'Fidel the musical' and hairdressers – turning research into impact
Academia is often accused of focusing too much on theory and not doing enough to address real world challenges. Inspired by principle 4 of the UNPRME framework which claims that ‘we will engage in conceptual and empirical research that advances our understanding about the role, dynamics, and impact of corporations in the creation of sustainable social, environmental and economic value’, this paper describes two initiatives that in very different ways have addressed the challenge of turning research into impact. In the first I present an account of a high impact study using hairdressers to disseminate sustainable practices across the population. In the second I engaged with schools and colleges across the UK to ask students to write songs for a musical about Fidel Castro and the Cuban revolution.

Abstract
Academia is often accused of focusing too much on theory and not doing enough to address real world challenges. Inspired by principle 4 of the UNPRME framework which claims that ‘we will engage in conceptual and empirical research that advances our understanding about the role, dynamics, and impact of corporations in the creation of sustainable social, environmental and economic value’, this paper describes two initiatives that in very different ways have addressed the challenge of turning research into impact. In the first I present an account of a high impact study using hairdressers to disseminate sustainable practices across the population. In the second I engaged with schools and colleges across the UK to ask students to write songs for a musical about Fidel Castro and the Cuban revolution.
