Positioned within the field of Consumer Culture Theory, my current research uses qualitative methods such as critical discourse analysis to examine how ideological work shapes marketplaces and consumer experiences by way of powerful messaging. I am involved in projects that examine power and discourse in the cases of policy changes (e.g., payday loans, cannabis legalization) and the use of public services (e.g., nursing homes, emergency departments). Theoretically, I engage with work on the political shaping of consumption and ethics in a capitalist society. My theoretical lens draws on Foucauldian conceptions of power, practice theory and embodied knowledge, as well as research from political psychology on distributive justice.

Influencing a Field: The Role of Influencers in The Cosmetics Industry
Research Interests – Work in Progress
I study dynamic markets where consumers are adapting to new technologies, new categories of actors, and/or new challenges to their well-being. I am interested in how consumers “buy into,” resist, and reconfigure changes introduced into markets that matter to them. I am particularly interested in consumers in positions of structural inequality whether because of their race, gender, sexuality or social class. My goal is to develop insights that balance the interests of market actors to benefit society as a whole.

Consumer backlash in the digital age: The role of social influence and identity on consumer judgements
Research Interests – Work in Progress
My research program is primarily focused on understanding the role of digital communication technologies in facilitating consumer interactions and the impact such interactions have on business activities and society at large. My current research examines consumers’ responses to negative reactions on social media towards marketing activities that are deemed “offensive”. This research is guided by my interest in social motivation and social cognition theories and questions surrounding social influence, moral judgement, identity and emotions.
