Consumption and Inequality
Mon, August 10, 2:00 to 3:30pm, TBASession Submission Type: Paper Session (90 minute)
Description
This session invites papers that examine how consumption practices reproduce, challenge, or transform systems of inequality. We welcome research that explores intersections of class, race, gender, sexuality, and nationality in shaping access to goods, services, and cultural practices. Papers may address topics such as the politics of taste and distinction, consumer debt and financialization, racialized and gendered markets, global supply chains, and alternative forms of consumption. The goal is to highlight how consumption both reflects and reshapes broader structures of power and privilege.
