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 Belk’s original theory of the extended self linked who we are, our sense of self, to tangible possessions, places, living people, and experiences with them. But today ownership liquefies, agency diffuses, and not even death stops the continued agency of self. What we call self is now increasingly enmeshed in carbon, silicon, and data, with every point of departure also a point of return. To explore these developments, we discuss four socio-technological forces emerging from our digital world: (1) post-ownership society, (2) artificial intelligence (AI), (3) human enhancement technologies (HET), and (4) digital immortality and the post-mortem self. These forces are reshaping our understanding of possessions and ownership, our data-driven relationships with things and people, our ever-evolving self, and creating new issues for marketing and consumer research. We conclude with suggestions for promising future marketing and consumer research directions and issues regarding the extended self.
