In partnership with The Institute for International Communication at St.

paper presentations at an upcoming one-day symposium, "Consumer 
Identities and Social Change."


We seek transdisciplinary interpretations and critical analyses of 
consumer identity, broadly defined, across various cultural and media 
landscapes that address some aspect of social change. This symposium 
follows the 2017 installment, "Consumer Identities and Digital Culture/."/


POTENTIAL TOPICS (including but not limited to):


— Activism and consumption

— Anti-consumerism

— Consumer identity and global issues

— Corporate social responsibility and popular culture

— Cultural marketing and consumer relationships

— Environmental responsibility, greenwashing and branding

We welcome scholarly submissions that address audience, industry, and 
critical/cultural perspectives and are particularly interested in the 
intersections thereof.
