Publications Database
Welcome to the new Schulich Peer-Reviewed Publication Database!
The database is currently in beta-testing and will be updated with more features as time goes on. In the meantime, stakeholders are free to explore our faculty’s numerous works. The left-hand panel affords the ability to search by the following:
- Faculty Member’s Name;
- Area of Expertise;
- Whether the Publication is Open-Access (free for public download);
- Journal Name; and
- Date Range.
At present, the database covers publications from 2012 to 2020, but will extend further back in the future. In addition to listing publications, the database includes two types of impact metrics: Altmetrics and Plum. The database will be updated annually with most recent publications from our faculty.
If you have any questions or input, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.

Yan Wang, Justin Tan, Shuxin Zhong (2025). "Identity Matters: Collective and Personal Selves Influencing Intelligent Algorithm Adoption Across Diverse Contexts", Asia Pacific Journal of Management, 1-24.
Abstract
Using a framework based on multiple selves, this study investigates how self-cognition influences intelligent algorithm adoption across diverse contexts. With algorithm-based intelligent recommendation reshaping business and society, it’s unclear how contextual difference (public vs. private) defines its adoption. The research shows both collective and personal selves impact the adoption, driven by diverse motivations. The collective self is more influential in public spheres, while the personal self matters more in private settings. Perceived privacy risk impacts the personal self in private contexts, whereas it does not influence the adoption of individuals who prioritize the collective self in public settings. These insights illuminate technology adoption in the digital era and suggest contextual interventions for the effective and ethical deployment of intelligent recommendation algorithm.Vikram Kapoor, Russell Belk, Wendy Hein (2025). "The Role of Volitional Reconsumption in the Lives of Gay Men Living with Concealable Stigmatized Identities", Journal of Business Research, 199, 115552.
Abstract
Volitional reconsumption involves consumers intentionally and actively seeking to relive specific consumption experiences. Various factors in consumers’ personal lives, such as identity transitions, personal crises, and different life stages, can influence their reconsumption experiences. Based on an oral history approach, our study investigates the role of volitional reconsumption among middle-aged gay men in Ireland. These men, living with concealable stigmatized identities (CSIs), have experienced severe stigma from the Irish Catholic church for most of their lives. Our study reveals that for our participants, the volitional reconsumption of specific objects and practices goes beyond simple recreation; they serve as a safeguard against the pain of stigma stemming from a homophobic church and society. Specifically, their volitional reconsumption experiences serve four main purposes: evading reality, giving a sense of permanence, providing power through contagion, and enabling identity reification. These purposes are achieved through four types of reconsumption: regressive, progressive, relational, and reflective, involving the use of specific objects and practices. The theoretical contribution of our study pertains to linking the growing field of consumer stigma, in our case concealable stigma, to volitional reconsumption and its benefits to consumers.Aaron C. Ahuvia, Russell W. Belk, Philip Kotler, Dawn Lerman and Edward Timke (2023). "The Things We Love: How Our Passions Connect Us and Make Us Who We Are", Advertising & Society Quarterly, 24(1).
Abstract
In this Author Meets Critics book discussion, Aaron Ahuvia uncovers the mystery behind brand love with some of the scholars who inspired him to research it. The Things We Love: How Our Passions Connect Us and Make Us Who We Are (Little, Brown Spark, 2022). He and marketing and material culture specialists met to explore the psychological phenomena surrounding love and the implications for marketers, students, and general readers. The book and this discussion around it explain the person-thing-person relationship in terms of identity, relationships, materialism, and consumerism. The book extolls how anthropomorphism and its opposite, objectification, operate in relationships with objects, brands, and products. The group discusses the ways in which technology is creating new ephemera and new things to love in the form of machine learning and artificial intelligence.Aulakh, P. (2021). "Law, Identity and Imperial Logics of Exclusion: The Case of the Komagata Maru Passengers", Journal of Imperial and Commonwealth History, 49(5), 866-898.
Abstract
This article investigates the journey of the Komagata Maru in 1914, and the multiple exclusions of its primarily Sikh passengers from various colonial jurisdictions, through the lenses of global and local legitimacy contestations across the British Empire at the beginning of the twentieth century. The paradox of its subjects’ mobility (i.e. accommodating the aspirations of ‘white-only’ self-governing colonies and disapproving the race-based exclusion of its ‘non-white’ subjects) had consumed the Empire for almost two decades. This contradiction necessitated justifications of exclusion that would be compatible with the liberal ideology of all subjects having equal rights and palatable to the political expediency considerations of different colonies. The transformation of the legal identities of the ship’s passengers from ‘farmers’ to ‘labourers’ to ‘seditionists’ during a short span of five months facilitated the institutionalisation of alternative logics of exclusion based on class and loyalty to the Empire. Through an in-depth study of an important episode in colonial history, this article attempts to foreground how intricate linkages among law, legitimacy and identity played out during a critical juncture for the British Empire.Shen, W. (2019). "Personal and Situational Antecedents of Workers’ Implicit Leadership Theories: A Within-person, Between-jobs Design", Journal of Leadership and Organizational Studies, 26, 204-216.
Abstract
Despite a flourishing literature demonstrating the consequences of implicit leadership theories (ILTs) for workplace phenomena, relatively little is known about the antecedents of ILTs, particularly those that are malleable or can be changed to shape ILTs. In two studies of dual-job holders, which allows for the modeling of between- and within-person predictors, I examined the extent to which workers’ ILTs were stable versus dynamic across work contexts. In line with connectionist perspectives, trait identities, a personal factor, promoted stability in ILTs across situations in both studies, whereas there was some limited evidence that organizational culture, a situational factor, only predicted ILTs within a given job context. Furthermore, the relationship between independent identity and ILTs differed when examining workers’ typical versus ideal leadership conceptualizations. Implications for future research on ILTs are also discussed.Lyons, B., Pek, S. and Wessel, J.L. (2017). "Toward a “Sunlit Path”: Stigma Identity Management as a Source of Localized Social Change Through Interaction", Academy of Management Review, 42(4), 618-636.
Abstract
We articulate a process through which individuals with a stigmatized identity can be agents of social change toward the acceptance and/or valuing of their identity in their workgroup. We posit that whether and how individuals communicate to others about their stigmatized identity (i.e., stigma identity management) can enable them to overcome their power disadvantage by influencing the meanings that the stigmatized identity and comparative dominant identities take on in negotiations of identity meanings. Drawing on theories of negotiated order, identity threat, and stigma identity management, we describe how changes in identity meanings emerge from an ongoing process of negotiations between stigma holders and their coworkers—negotiations that are influenced by and inform symbolic power relations and shared identity meanings in the group. We extend understandings of stigma identity management strategies by expanding beyond the current focus on outcomes for individual stigma holders toward how such strategies can change the local social context in which stigma holders and their coworkers interact.Belk, R. and Cherrier, H.
