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.

Abstract
With online and offline lives increasingly intertwined, hybrid retail spaces are emerging as new social hubs akin to classical third places. Third places refer to spaces apart from work and home, such as cafes and bars, that provide opportunities for social interaction. While prior research has primarily conceptualized third places as physical establishments, it also acknowledges that online environments, such as multiplayer gaming platforms or chatrooms, can fulfil similar functions. Yet, despite the recognized social-supportive role of retail venues, relatively little is known about how third place atmospheres can effectively be orchestrated in online retail settings. This study addresses this gap through an ethnographic investigation of a digital platform that recreates a physical third place online, enabling consumers to gather for long hours, consuming, conversing, and socializing. We find that, in online retail settings, third place atmospheres can be cultivated through the deliberate orchestration of technology-mediated interaction ritual chains. Through three interconnected processes – ritual framing, boundary regulation, and affective synchronization – that unfold before, during, and after the gatherings, the online setting transforms into a digital third place. Both retailers and consumers play pivotal roles in this transformation. Drawing on these findings, we offer several theoretical contributions and managerial recommendations.Kim, Henry M., Bita Ghiasi, Max Spear, Marek Laskowski and Jiye Li (2017).
