2020年ACR会前推进多样性,Equity, and Inclusion in Consumer Research

DEI Pre-conference at ACR 2020

Wednesday, Sept. 30, 10am–12pm (EST)

Co-Chairs:Raji Srinivasan, Associate Dean for Diversity and Inclusion, University of Texas at Austin andCarolyn Yoon, Faculty Director of Diversity and Inclusion, University of Michigan

Background:

1. Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) is becoming an important topic pervading all aspects of society, including consumer behavior and therefore marketers.
2. One can expect DEI to continue to have influence in the coming years.
3. Yet, given the recency with which this topic has come to the fore, there is little directed research relating DEI to consumer behavior.
4. Thus, there is an opportunity for consumer behavior scholars to develop a program of research relating DEI to consumer behavior.
5. This pre-conference presentation will identify issues related to DEI and consumer behavior using a panel session with scholars currently working on topics adjacent to DEI and consumer behavior.
