My current research explores two separate streams: 1) Taste and its shaping of markets, products, and everyday practices; 2) The intersection of technology and markets and its implications for society.

I am a Full Professor and Concordia University Research Chair in Consumption, Markets, and Society at John Molson School of Business. I am also an Associate Editor at the Journal of Consumer Research.
