2022 GENMAC Conference – Stockholm University & Stockholm School of Economics; Susanna Molander, Riikka Murto, and Jacob Östberg (Web)
Time: 16.-17.05.2022
Venue: Stockholm
Proposals by: 10.01.2022
This Conference invites scholars to consider gender paradoxes and struggles, challenge intersections of gender, politics and consumption, as well as articulate new possibilities for advocating for gender equality. The organizers want to foster debates regarding how gender is articulated, negotiated and politicized in and through markets and consumption in order to contribute to a broader discussion regarding gender and social change. In other words, at this conference, our aim is not only to evoke academic debates interlinking gender, marketing and consumer behavior, but also to rethink how academic research can contribute to theory, practice and social change, as they relate to gender.
