Journal of Business Ethics, Special Issue: “Taking an Interdisciplinary View of Ethics in Consumption”

CALL FOR PAPERS

Journal of Business Ethics – Special Issue

“Taking an Interdisciplinary View of Ethics in Consumption”

As the negative consequences of unsustainable consumption become increasingly visible and problematic, building connected—interdisciplinary—understandings of sustainability and ethics in consumption becomes even more critical to finding sustainable solutions. This Journal of Business Ethics Special Issue is directed towards addressing this challenge by: (1) drawing on multiple academic disciplines to present, synthesize, and contrast differing perspectives of consumption ethics; (2) rendering a coherent, multi-faceted and complex image of ethical consumers as individuals and consumption ethics within society; and (3) pushing the understanding of this important consumption dimension forward in a way that has wide appeal and practical application.
