Menopause as a Transformation Force Within Organizations

Portals and pixels: The embodied enchantment of virtual reality
The house is burning, and we are looking elsewhere: ” The Urgency of Researching Consumption Injustices
This provocation piece calls for a fundamental shift in marketing and consumer research, arguing that the discipline must address the urgent and systemic injustices embedded within global consumption practices. Building on discussions from the 2023 CCT Conference, we urge scholars to redirect attention from mainstream consumer narratives to the peripheries where injustices are often rendered invisible. Through collective reflection, we identify t…
Encountering Social Inequalities through Productive Unsettling
This article draws on a collaboration with the Birmingham Royal Ballet to propose a dancing pedagogy for productive unsettlement. Developed within a sociology of consumption module, we show how art can bridge the sociological and empathic imaginations, encouraging learners to ‘feel themselves away’ from their individual experience and better reflect on the wider social structures that shape it. Ballet, an art form marked by financial, cultural an…
The dialectic of (menopause) zest: Breaking the mold of organizational irrelevance
Drawing from women's testimonials in The Guardian and from contributions of feminist writers, Virginia Woolf, Julia Kristeva, and Margaret Mead, we start a conversation on the positive and energizing aspects of menopause in the workplace. We propose a social interpretation of menopause that challenges a pervasive perspective of medical decline: A theorization of “the dialectic of zest,” as inspired by the writings of Margaret Mead. By problematiz…

Creating Responsible Subjects: The Role of Mediated Affective Encounters
Why do people willingly bestow upon themselves the responsibility to tackle social problems such as poverty? Consumer research has provided valuable insight into how individuals are created as responsible subjects but has yet to account for the crucial role of affective dynamics in subject formation. We draw upon affect theorizing and nascent research on 'affective governmentality' in organization and policy studies to theorize the formation of r…
Broken bodies
The following trilogy draws on the lives of those afflicted by a chronic condition and their experiences of both consuming and being consumed by their illnesses. For the patient and his or her loved ones, living with the illness is an emotional roller-coaster that involves rapid transitions between devastation and joy. The poems in this series elaborate upon those emotional moments when patients and caregivers engage with ordinary household objec…
Motherhood in migration: Schools as Acculturation Agents
Motherhood roles lie at the intersection of gender, professional, family, and social identities and are highly contextualized in culture, making them particularly relevant for acculturation success. We provide an empirical example of how schools act as acculturation agents, using the experiences of career-oriented migrant mothers whose children attend elite private schools in Santiago, Chile. This study contributes to consumer acculturation resea…
Global cities and cultural experimentation: Cosmopolitan-local connections
Purpose: Studying the cultural dynamics of expatriate amateur theater in Brussels, this paper investigates multicultural marketplace development in global cities. Design/methodology/approach: The paper performs an interpretive analysis of the expatriate amateur scene from an ethnographic perspective, combining observations of rehearsals and performances, in-depth interviews with actors, directors and audience, and secondary data. Findings: The fl…
