Better Marketing for a Better World Proseminar

The editors of the Journal of Marketing Special Issue on Better Marketing for a Better World are hosting a series of proseminars the focus on developing research ideas across a range of topics.

The next proseminar meeting on December 1st from 9:00-11:30AM Eastern is focused on “A Deep Dive into Better Marketing for Responsible Consumption.”

  • Session Leaders: Gita Johar (Columbia University) and Shilpa Madan (Virginia Tech) welcome faculty and Ph.D. students interested in developing research in the area of responsible consumption.
  • Session Summary (https://bit.ly/3whAHy5): One of the core objectives of marketing as a function is to encourage consumers to buy more and consume more. In a world grappling with overflowing landfills, pollution, and climate change, how can marketing instead persuade people to consume more responsibly, and maybe even less? Aligned to the UN’s Sustainable Development Goal on “Responsible Consumption and Production,” this seminar seeks to accomplish two key objectives. First, in conversation with leading scholars, we hope to inspire researchers to conduct rigorous and relevant research that facilitates responsible consumption. Second, we aspire to encourage more research on responsible consumption by developing skills to generate and sharpen such ideas.
