Writing Project 3 PrewritingFor this project I have chos.docxjeffevans62972
Writing Project 3 Prewriting
For this project I have chosen the issue of police brutality which is gradually crawling back specifically affecting youths and teens residing in low economic suburbs in Georgia.
My project will therefore target the residents in these localities particularly the youth, parents and opinion shapers with regards to shaping public policies. These stakeholders include activism NGOs, social researchers and the local political leadership.
This initiative was inspired by a presentation made by Isabela Robinson on Ted Talks in March last year where she suggested the evils subjected on young citizens by the police and the effect this has on their development (TEDx Talks, 2019).
Research Question- The role of social media in reporting cases of police brutality in low economic status suburbs in Savannah.
To collect primary data for my study, I have interviewed two victims of this social evil, their respective parents and have complemented this information with records of hospitalized victims and an expert opinion from a local researcher affiliated to social activism firm in Savannah.
In this project I will persuade the residents of the suburbs to embark on forming social networks and giving these cases the publicity they need to be exposed and attended.
To successfully convince the residence to use social media to root out police brutality I will use experts and opinions from authorities of the sociology of policing, present to them statistics of those affected by the issue and the worrying trend and later present the sorry states of those whose lives have been negative affected by the issue.
However, disrespect for authorities in many instances prompt the police to apply violence (Silver, 2017). I will emphasize on cooperation with the police and a call for the youth to desist from violence and drug abuse as the police have cited these as their resolve to apply violence to apprehend some youths.
To seek more information on this project, I have used the PsycINFO catalogue in the Cleveland State Community College to identify scholarly articles relating to the issue. Here is have found articles and videos which are more important as they have more elaborate data. I have not had any trouble sourcing information on the project.

Candidate young stellar objects in the S-cluster: Kinematic analysis of a sub...Sérgio Sacani
Context. The observation of several L-band emission sources in the S cluster has led to a rich discussion of their nature. However, a definitive answer to the classification of the dusty objects requires an explanation for the detection of compact Doppler-shifted Brγ emission. The ionized hydrogen in combination with the observation of mid-infrared L-band continuum emission suggests that most of these sources are embedded in a dusty envelope. These embedded sources are part of the S-cluster, and their relationship to the S-stars is still under debate. To date, the question of the origin of these two populations has been vague, although all explanations favor migration processes for the individual cluster members. Aims. This work revisits the S-cluster and its dusty members orbiting the supermassive black hole SgrA* on bound Keplerian orbits from a kinematic perspective. The aim is to explore the Keplerian parameters for patterns that might imply a nonrandom distribution of the sample. Additionally, various analytical aspects are considered to address the nature of the dusty sources. Methods. Based on the photometric analysis, we estimated the individual H−K and K−L colors for the source sample and compared the results to known cluster members. The classification revealed a noticeable contrast between the S-stars and the dusty sources. To fit the flux-density distribution, we utilized the radiative transfer code HYPERION and implemented a young stellar object Class I model. We obtained the position angle from the Keplerian fit results; additionally, we analyzed the distribution of the inclinations and the longitudes of the ascending node. Results. The colors of the dusty sources suggest a stellar nature consistent with the spectral energy distribution in the near and midinfrared domains. Furthermore, the evaporation timescales of dusty and gaseous clumps in the vicinity of SgrA* are much shorter ( 2yr) than the epochs covered by the observations (≈15yr). In addition to the strong evidence for the stellar classification of the D-sources, we also find a clear disk-like pattern following the arrangements of S-stars proposed in the literature. Furthermore, we find a global intrinsic inclination for all dusty sources of 60 ± 20◦, implying a common formation process. Conclusions. The pattern of the dusty sources manifested in the distribution of the position angles, inclinations, and longitudes of the ascending node strongly suggests two different scenarios: the main-sequence stars and the dusty stellar S-cluster sources share a common formation history or migrated with a similar formation channel in the vicinity of SgrA*. Alternatively, the gravitational influence of SgrA* in combination with a massive perturber, such as a putative intermediate mass black hole in the IRS 13 cluster, forces the dusty objects and S-stars to follow a particular orbital arrangement. Key words. stars: black holes– stars: formation– Galaxy: center– galaxies: star formation

Writing Project 3 PrewritingFor this project I have chos.docxjeffevans62972
Writing Project 3 Prewriting
For this project I have chosen the issue of police brutality which is gradually crawling back specifically affecting youths and teens residing in low economic suburbs in Georgia.
My project will therefore target the residents in these localities particularly the youth, parents and opinion shapers with regards to shaping public policies. These stakeholders include activism NGOs, social researchers and the local political leadership.
This initiative was inspired by a presentation made by Isabela Robinson on Ted Talks in March last year where she suggested the evils subjected on young citizens by the police and the effect this has on their development (TEDx Talks, 2019).
Research Question- The role of social media in reporting cases of police brutality in low economic status suburbs in Savannah.
To collect primary data for my study, I have interviewed two victims of this social evil, their respective parents and have complemented this information with records of hospitalized victims and an expert opinion from a local researcher affiliated to social activism firm in Savannah.
In this project I will persuade the residents of the suburbs to embark on forming social networks and giving these cases the publicity they need to be exposed and attended.
To successfully convince the residence to use social media to root out police brutality I will use experts and opinions from authorities of the sociology of policing, present to them statistics of those affected by the issue and the worrying trend and later present the sorry states of those whose lives have been negative affected by the issue.
However, disrespect for authorities in many instances prompt the police to apply violence (Silver, 2017). I will emphasize on cooperation with the police and a call for the youth to desist from violence and drug abuse as the police have cited these as their resolve to apply violence to apprehend some youths.
To seek more information on this project, I have used the PsycINFO catalogue in the Cleveland State Community College to identify scholarly articles relating to the issue. Here is have found articles and videos which are more important as they have more elaborate data. I have not had any trouble sourcing information on the project.

Writing Assignment # 2
Due: Friday September 3rd, by 11:59 PM CST
Overview:
This Writing Assignment is broken down into two parts. Writing Assignment #1, which is due Friday August 27th and Writing Assignment #2, which is due Friday, September 3rd by 11:59 PM CST
The assignment now because requires some research into “strong sources.” Those sources that support your response will require footnotes and a bibliography to present you evidence, in CHICAGO MANUAL STYLE
The first part will not require it, but part two should have an attempt at citing your sources using Chicago Manual style. The video “HOW TO: Cite in Chicago Manual Style” will demonstrate is and model the method of citing your references. It would be the first time trying to cite in any style for many of you, so that tutorial will be a good starting point for the beginners and a refresher for others. Also, you may use the web-site Purdue OwlNet
to assist you in figuring out how to cite various sources that I do not cover in the video tutorial.
You may earn full credit for answering the questions and attempting Chicago Manual Style for Writing Assignment #2.
Also, when saving your MS Word document in order to attach and submit the assignment, label/save each document in the following order:
Each response should have a cover page, and the rest be no more than two or perhaps three pages of content. Writing Assignment #2 will require the use of at least three “strong sources.” Include footnotes and a Bibliography as the third and final page.
Finally, do not forget to place [1302.49F Smith, John, Writing Assignment #2] in the subject line of your e- ...

Candidate young stellar objects in the S-cluster: Kinematic analysis of a sub...Sérgio Sacani
Context. The observation of several L-band emission sources in the S cluster has led to a rich discussion of their nature. However, a definitive answer to the classification of the dusty objects requires an explanation for the detection of compact Doppler-shifted Brγ emission. The ionized hydrogen in combination with the observation of mid-infrared L-band continuum emission suggests that most of these sources are embedded in a dusty envelope. These embedded sources are part of the S-cluster, and their relationship to the S-stars is still under debate. To date, the question of the origin of these two populations has been vague, although all explanations favor migration processes for the individual cluster members. Aims. This work revisits the S-cluster and its dusty members orbiting the supermassive black hole SgrA* on bound Keplerian orbits from a kinematic perspective. The aim is to explore the Keplerian parameters for patterns that might imply a nonrandom distribution of the sample. Additionally, various analytical aspects are considered to address the nature of the dusty sources. Methods. Based on the photometric analysis, we estimated the individual H−K and K−L colors for the source sample and compared the results to known cluster members. The classification revealed a noticeable contrast between the S-stars and the dusty sources. To fit the flux-density distribution, we utilized the radiative transfer code HYPERION and implemented a young stellar object Class I model. We obtained the position angle from the Keplerian fit results; additionally, we analyzed the distribution of the inclinations and the longitudes of the ascending node. Results. The colors of the dusty sources suggest a stellar nature consistent with the spectral energy distribution in the near and midinfrared domains. Furthermore, the evaporation timescales of dusty and gaseous clumps in the vicinity of SgrA* are much shorter ( 2yr) than the epochs covered by the observations (≈15yr). In addition to the strong evidence for the stellar classification of the D-sources, we also find a clear disk-like pattern following the arrangements of S-stars proposed in the literature. Furthermore, we find a global intrinsic inclination for all dusty sources of 60 ± 20◦, implying a common formation process. Conclusions. The pattern of the dusty sources manifested in the distribution of the position angles, inclinations, and longitudes of the ascending node strongly suggests two different scenarios: the main-sequence stars and the dusty stellar S-cluster sources share a common formation history or migrated with a similar formation channel in the vicinity of SgrA*. Alternatively, the gravitational influence of SgrA* in combination with a massive perturber, such as a putative intermediate mass black hole in the IRS 13 cluster, forces the dusty objects and S-stars to follow a particular orbital arrangement.

Anti-Universe And Emergent Gravity and the Dark UniverseSérgio Sacani
Recent theoretical progress indicates that spacetime and gravity emerge together from the entanglement structure of an underlying microscopic theory. These ideas are best understood in Anti-de Sitter space, where they rely on the area law for entanglement entropy. The extension to de Sitter space requires taking into account the entropy and temperature associated with the cosmological horizon. Using insights from string theory, black hole physics and quantum information theory we argue that the positive dark energy leads to a thermal volume law contribution to the entropy that overtakes the area law precisely at the cosmological horizon. Due to the competition between area and volume law entanglement the microscopic de Sitter states do not thermalise at sub-Hubble scales: they exhibit memory effects in the form of an entropy displacement caused by matter. The emergent laws of gravity contain an additional ‘dark’ gravitational force describing the ‘elastic’ response due to the entropy displacement. We derive an estimate of the strength of this extra force in terms of the baryonic mass, Newton’s constant and the Hubble acceleration scale a0 = cH0, and provide evidence for the fact that this additional ‘dark gravity force’ explains the observed phenomena in galaxies and clusters currently attributed to dark matter.

Photometric and spectroscopic followup with NIRCam and NIRSpec, respectively, confirm the redshift and yield UV-NIR light-curve, NIR color, and spectroscopic information all consistent with a Type Ia classification. Despite its classification as a likely SN Ia, SN 2023adsy is both fairly red (

JAMES WEBB STUDY THE MASSIVE BLACK HOLE SEEDSSérgio Sacani
The pathway(s) to seeding the massive black holes (MBHs) that exist at the heart of galaxies in the present and distant Universe remains an unsolved problem. Here we categorise, describe and quantitatively discuss the formation pathways of both light and heavy seeds. We emphasise that the most recent computational models suggest that rather than a bimodal-like mass spectrum between light and heavy seeds with light at one end and heavy at the other that instead a continuum exists. Light seeds being more ubiquitous and the heavier seeds becoming less and less abundant due the rarer environmental conditions required for their formation. We therefore examine the different mechanisms that give rise to different seed mass spectrums. We show how and why the mechanisms that produce the heaviest seeds are also among the rarest events in the Universe and are hence extremely unlikely to be the seeds for the vast majority of the MBH population. We quantify, within the limits of the current large uncertainties in the seeding processes, the expected number densities of the seed mass spectrum. We argue that light seeds must be at least 103 to 105 times more numerous than heavy seeds to explain the MBH population as a whole. Based on our current understanding of the seed population this makes heavy seeds (Mseed > 103 M⊙) a significantly more likely pathway given that heavy seeds have an abundance pattern than is close to and likely in excess of 10−4 compared to light seeds. Finally, we examine the current state-of-the-art in numerical calculations and recent observations and plot a path forward for near-future advances in both domains.

Authoring a personal GPT for your research and practice: How we created the Q...Leonel Morgado
Thematic analysis in qualitative research is a time-consuming and systematic task, typically done using teams. Team members must ground their activities on common understandings of the major concepts underlying the thematic analysis, and define criteria for its development. However, conceptual misunderstandings, equivocations, and lack of adherence to criteria are challenges to the quality and speed of this process. Given the distributed and uncertain nature of this process, we wondered if the tasks in thematic analysis could be supported by readily available artificial intelligence chatbots. Our early efforts point to potential benefits: not just saving time in the coding process but better adherence to criteria and grounding, by increasing triangulation between humans and artificial intelligence. This tutorial will provide a description and demonstration of the process we followed, as two academic researchers, to develop a custom ChatGPT to assist with qualitative coding in the thematic data analysis process of immersive learning accounts in a survey of the academic literature: QUAL-E Immersive Learning Thematic Analysis Helper. In the hands-on time, participants will try out QUAL-E and develop their ideas for their own qualitative coding ChatGPT. Participants that have the paid ChatGPT Plus subscription can create a draft of their assistants. The organizers will provide course materials and slide deck that participants will be able to utilize to continue development of their custom GPT. The paid subscription to ChatGPT Plus is not required to participate in this workshop, just for trying out personal GPTs during it.

Anti-consumption, the reasons against consumption (Chatzidakis and Lee, 2013), has always
been a powerful catalyst encouraging action in people (Ozanne and Ballantine, 2010; Lee and
Soon, 2017), brands (Yuksel and Mryteza, 2009; Lee, Motion and Conroy, 2009), and society
(Lee, Fernandez, and Hyman, 2009). This, track seeks new papers studying the on-going effect
that anti-consumption phenomena has had, or could have, on society and marketing systems.
Submissions can be theoretical or empirical, interpretive, qualitative or quantitative. Given the
conference theme of “Mobilizing Action to Catalyze Real rocking Outcomes”, papers that link
anti-consumption to ‘Real Rocking Outcomes’ are encouraged. Extended abstracts (3 to 5
pages) may also be submitted. Normally, one page abstracts do not provide sufficient
background for evaluators to render judgment about the paper’s conference suitability. Lucie
Ozanne is the primary contact for this track.

Consumer Vulnerability Track

Today’s political climate around the world is characterized by politics of identity, tribalism and
inequality. At the same time companies often strive for efficiencies through standardization and
cultural homogenization (i.e., food and fashion becoming westernized around the world). While
societies around the globe are struggling with divisiveness based on perceptions of identity and
trying to make a whole out of many different parts, the market continues to use markers of
otherness in ways that can isolate or further marginalize certain consumers or even use their
identities for fashion or trendiness.
For example, consumers are often caught in a bind finding themselves pigeonholed into certain
categories of gender, race, religion etc. in ways that marginalize while at the same time finding it
difficult to locate products and services that may support such an identity. For example, many
black women live with the stressors of being black in a society that marginalizes them and also
not finding a single hair stylist in their locale that is skilled in handling black hair. Adding to the
complexity, women without black hair may adopt braids, cornrows or other styles, appropriating
markers of the marginalized while continuing to enjoy the privilege of the majority.
Stepping back further, there are whole classes of people that run a high risk of vulnerability tied
to disrupted identity and social ties. There are people displaced by natural disasters, refugees
fleeing chaos or individuals living on islands facing eradication from rising seas. These
consumers rely on political and social solutions that may provide the basics (e.g., food and
shelter) but often do this at the expense of community and identity. The dissolution of long-
standing communities by relocation after a natural disaster is a prime example of this.
In trying to address these issues, some firms attempt to address consumer vulnerability by
rejecting the mainstream and reaching out to niche customers to provide solutions (e.g., women’s
Islamic fashion companies). Some consumers are pushing back, demanding admission into
markets that they may otherwise have been shut out of (e.g., transgender individuals shopping in
their clothing department of choice rather than the department that matches their birth gender) or
rejecting norms that have been thrust on them by the market (e.g., the real bodies movement).
Finally, some state, religious and NGO actors challenge laws and practices to provide
humanitarian support to consumers who are displaced and culturally adrift.
The focus of this track will be on research related to understanding today’s environment of
transition, identity, marginalization and vulnerability and understanding how marketing systems
interact with government and other sectors to increase or alleviate tensions. Papers are
welcomed that shed light on this broad perspective of consumer vulnerability with particular
interest on practices that mitigate detrimental situations or lead to transformative solutions.

This track welcomes papers on all dimensions of ethics, fairness (equity) and justice related
issues that have societal manifestations or marketing system implications. We welcome
ethical approaches or assessments of macromarketing topics particularly around topics such as
sustainability, social marketing, food and health. Submissions can be theoretical or empirical,
interpretive, qualitative or quantitative. Given the conference theme of “Mobilizing Action to
Catalyze Real Rocking Outcomes”, papers that offer suggestions for change in the status quo,
particularly addressing ethical issues are especially welcome.
Full papers are encouraged. Extended abstracts (3 to 5 pages) may also be submitted with the
understanding that the papers will be completed by the time of the conference. Normally, one
page abstracts do not provide sufficient background for evaluators to render judgment about the
paper’s conference suitability. Joya Kemper is the primary contact for this track.

The newest Report on the State of Obesity in the United States of America is particularly
surprising and disturbing, if we consider the numerous initiatives, to combat a major global issue
such as obesity, taken by policy makers, food industry, and academia. It appears that the highest
rates of obesity in the U.S., ever documented by the National Health and Nutrition Examination
Survey, were recorded as recently as 2015-2016 (Hales et al., 2017). More alarming is the fact
that obesity is currently a growing global public health crisis (The GBD 2017 Obesity
Collaborators, 2017). Almost 30% of the world’s population is either obese or overweight and
this global public health issue is present in developed as well as developing countries (Ng. et al.,
2014).
As ‘tired’ as we – consumers, food marketers, policy makers, (macro) marketing researchers –
may be, of examining, and attempting to come up with solutions to combat, obesity, this
epidemic is still increasing and its health and economic costs are not negligible. Consequently,
addressing the obesity crisis, from multiple angles, remains imperative for ensuring the health of
the global population.
- Changes in the food environment and global food systems are major drivers of obesity, as
there is “more processed, affordable, and effectively marketed food” (Swinburn et al., 2011,
p. 804). Thus, how do we create a healthier, more sustainable global food system?
- In the U.S., low prices of energy-dense foods and exacerbated marketing of such products
(Swinburn et al., 2011), the availability of fast-food restaurants, as opposed to grocery
stores, in certain low-income, rural areas and communities of color (Kwate et al., 2009;
Bower et al., 2014), the intense advertising of poor-nutritional foods to certain populations
(e.g., African American and Latino youth) (Harris et al., 2015) are all major factors that
continue to contribute to obesity. “Sustained, meaningful reductions in obesity have not
been achieved nationally;” unfortunately, differences in obesity rates – from ethnic,
geographic, and racial perspectives – still exist (Warren, Beck, and Rayburn, 2018, p.8).
- Americans’ confusion about nutrition may also explain the ongoing problem of obesity;
some of the findings of the International Food Information Council Foundation’s 12th
Annual Food and Health Survey indicate that Americans “are consuming food information
from more sources than ever before;” nevertheless, their nutritional knowledge is “sorely
lacking”, which negatively affects their health (International Food Information Council
Foundation, 2017, p.1). Therefore, to what extent do/did the nutritional information on the
menus, the GMO vs Non-GMO movement/labels, the organic vs. conventional product
trend, and the gluten-free/added sugars and artificial sweeteners/whole grain/fiber labeling
overwhelm OR educate consumers and consequently, become detrimental OR beneficial to
consumers’ food buying and consumption behavior?
The aforementioned discussion and questions are not meant to narrow the scope of our Food
Marketing Track; instead, they set up the stage for new discussion/views, from various angles
(e.g., global food systems, consumer behavior, public policy, food marketing, etc.), regarding an
10. M a c r o m a r k e t i n g C o n f e r e n c e C a l l f o r P a p e r s 2 0 1 9 P a g e | 9
old, yet pressing problem - i.e., obesity. We invite scholars to submit competitive papers
(theoretical or empirical), extended abstracts, and/or special session proposals, which may relate
to this discussion/these questions OR generally, identify and address the gaps in (macro)
marketing research, public policy, marketing practices, and consumer behavior, in the context of
obesity or obesity-related health issues around the world.

Gender across the Spectrums: Intersectionalities and Macromarketing Topics
Co-Chairs:
Laurel Steinfield (main contact), Bentley University
Email: lsteinfield@bentley.edu
Wendy Hein, Birkbeck University of London
Email: w.hein@bbk.ac.uk
Gender relations, gender identity and norms intersect the marketplace at a local and global level.
They act recursively, with the marketplace shaping and influencing gender constructions, and
vice versa. These interactions are complex, fluid, and at times transformative. Yet they can also
entrench stereotypes, gender binaries (male/female), heteronormativity, sexist behaviors, and
inequities and injustices. Troubling gender dynamics related to macromarketing and society
remain critical to explore as they are key to understanding the way the world and marketplaces
work. Indeed, gender topics have gained significant momentum in Macromarketing since its first
conference track in 2014.
At the 44th
Annual Macromarketing conference, we seek to build on this momentum.
Recognizing the multiple dimensions of identity and systemic market discriminations, we draw
particular attention to increasing importance of intersectionality (Cho, Crenshaw, & McCall,
2013; Collins, 2015), which considers how power asymmetries give rise to the ‘isms’ of
discrimination or oppression experienced in the marketplace, such as heterosexism, racism,
classism, ableism, ageism.
We thus call for scholars to apply to the gender track with work that:
engages key debates occurring around gender, including how gender can bring people
together (i.e. social movements such as #MeToo), but can also make others—and the
systemic issues that entrench these practices/views—more invisible or marginalized (i.e.
transgenders, minority identities)
expands our views and application of intersectionality theory, including how it sheds
light on marketplace exclusions, discriminations and/or transformations
We also offer the opportunity for scholars to apply with work that relates to one of the other
macromarketing topics to demonstrate:
how gender matters more widely across Macromarketing topics; and/or
how an intersectionality or feminist perspective might expand our knowledge in these
domains.
Based on submissions, track chairs will compose shared sessions in which chairs and scholars
from other tracks join the gender & intersectionality track. Our goal is to build bridges between
gender and Macromarketing topics, and to explore, together, what gender can add to our
analysis, understandings, and solutions to Macromarketing dilemmas. Participants interested in
contributing to a shared track session should submit their paper to the Gender track chairs, but
note in their submission what track(s) they see potential connections or cross-overs.
Topics for shared track sessions could include:
Anti-consumption
Sustainable and Ethical Consumption
Social Marketing
Ethics, Equity and Social Justice

Quality of Life and Wellbeing
Food Marketing
Marketing & Development
Macromarketing and Climate Change
Subsistence Marketplaces
Poverty, Structural Inequalities and social inclusion
Consumer Vulnerability
Technological Advances and Marketing Futures
Scholars have explored these topics at previous Macromarketing conferences* and within
scholarly publications, yet there are many ways this work could be expanded. For example, prior
work includes:
consumer resistance and activism (Kates & Belk, 2001)
sustainable consumption (Dobscha & Prothero, 2012; Wallaschkowski et al, 2018*)
social marketing (Gurrieri, Previte, & Brace-Govan, 2013; Drake & Radford, 2018*),
social justice (Hein et al., 2016; Scott et al., 2011),
measures of quality of life (Nussbaum, 2000)
global value chains, ethical sourcing and “women” economic empowerment interventions
(Steinfield et al., 2016*; Hein, 2018*)
climate change (Steinfield, 2018)
neoliberalism and globalization (Cheded & Hopkinson, 2018*; Rome & Lambert, 2018*)
cybercrimes (Jane, 2016)
advertisements and social discourse and social media (Balog, 2017*; Ferree, 2009; Gentry &
Harrison, 2010; Gill, 2008; Gurrieri & Drenten, 2017*)
post-conflict and subsistence marketplaces (Pitt, et al., 2006; Pittaway & Bartolomei, 2001;
Scott et al., 2012; Steinfield et al., 2018)
structural inequalities, social exclusion, poverty and vulnerable consumers (Gentry &
Steinfield, 2017*; Hutton, 2015; McKeage, Crosby, & Rittenburg, 2018; Pavia & Pounders,
2018*)
the (re)production of methods, knowledge and institutional practices (Hearn & Hein, 2015;
Maclaran et al. 2009; Prothero and McDonagh 2017*; Tuncay Zayer & Coleman, 2015).
(* designates Macromarketing proceedings)
This conference thus provides a forum for gender/marketing scholars to advance research on
these and other macro-related topics, to explore the geographical breadth of marketplace and
consumer dynamics, and to engage in collaborative discussions.
To apply, scholars should send submissions to Laurel Steinfield using the email:
genmac.org@gmail.com. Full papers are encouraged. Authors will have the options of having
their full paper or an abstract printed in the conference proceedings. Extended abstracts for
works in progress may also be submitted with the understanding that these papers may be
marked as developmental. Extended abstract should be 3-5 pages. Normally, one page abstracts
do not provide sufficient background for evaluators to render judgment about the paper’s
conference suitability.

The track invites conceptual and empirical works that seek to understand the state of
globalisation and global markets today, and explore the ways that marketing is implicated in
maintaining of / resisting to the global market. We welcome papers engaging with the questions
of post- and neo-colonialism, and decolonisation/decononiality.
The topics of interest include but not limited to the following:
- marketing practices of global/transnational/multinational corporations (MNCs);
- workings of global non-for-profit/NGO/corporate philanthropy industrial complex (NPIC);
- issues of cultural domination and cultural appropriation;
- resistance at grassroots and/or policy levels to a global market order; and more broadly
- borders and borderlands in a (post-)global market;
- rise and fall of an idea (globalisation);
- decentering Eurocentrism; and
- decolonial thinking in marketing.
We invite contributions from scholars working in and on any geographic region. This track is
open to submissions that approach the subject of globalisation from a range of perspectives and
diverse theoretical traditions. The track aims to advance and update the debate on globalisation
in Macromarketing.

Macromarketing and Climate Change
Chair:
Sabrina V. Helm, The University of Arizona

Climate change is the grandest of challenges facing humanity. In the space of only two centuries
of industrial development, human civilization has changed the chemistry of the atmosphere and
oceans, with devastating consequences for all life on earth (Wright & Nyberg 2017). One
contributing factor to this development is an increasingly materialistic consumer culture and
lifestyle which, under the influence of, for example, changing cultural norms, institutions, and
marketing actions, have created levels of overconsumption which not only are non-sustainable,
but also drive climate change.
Business organizations are focal actors in this development. In the past, businesses
contributed to the production of escalating greenhouse gas emissions but, recently, some also
offer innovative ways to mitigate climate change threats (Wright & Nyberg 2017). How
businesses, public policy and consumers can adapt to, or mitigate, climate change is arguably the
most critical issue to be addressed by macromarketers today. Marketers responding to this
ultimate challenge by “business as usual” in order to fulfill traditional business imperatives of
profit and growth remain part of the problem, not the solution. But how can businesses survive
and prosper if the imperative is to reduce consumption? Can degrowth as a marketing strategy
conceivably be financially viable or offer new and creative opportunities to gain competitive
advantages? Should businesses actively contribute to decrease consumer consumption? Should
businesses play an active role in non-profit or activist organizations, lobbying, or otherwise
influencing policies related to climate change adaptation and mitigation? How can business
organizations become part of the solution instead of the problem?
Papers in this track explore the role of marketing vis-à-vis climate change by presenting
conceptual or empirical research with a higher-level of aggregation than individual firms, brands,
or consumer behavior’s implications for individual firms. Examples of possible topics include,
but are not limited to the following:
1. Business responses to overconsumption
2. Marketing strategies geared toward climate change adaptation / mitigation
3. The role of marketing in affecting climate change-related public policy
4. CEO activism and climate change / overconsumption
5. Climate change-related consumer activism and boycotts of businesses
6. Global and local marketing responses to climate change
7. Impacts of reduced (sustainable) consumption on current economic systems
8. Climate change-related communication strategies and labeling
9. Climate change impacts on consumer wellbeing
10. Macromarketing implications of carbon-neutral (green) products and services
Full papers are preferred but extended abstracts will also be considered.

Each summer true believers in the macromarketing faith from universities all over the world
gather together at an annual meeting for both spiritual revival and intellectual coproduction.
They then disperse from when they came, universities at which very little, if any, aspect of
macromarketing is taught, either openly or covertly. There are many reasons why this is the case
but one of them is the absence of a publicly available “teaching macromarketing” resource from
which those interested can draw, a resource appropriate for use in both the developed and the
developing world. This track has as its objective helping to fill that serious error of omission.
Those who have delivered macromarketing based modules in other marketing courses, offered
seminars with significant macromarketing content, compiled macromarketing reading lists
and/or developed unique pedagogical approaches to exploring macromarketing issues would all
be welcome contributors to this track. Please take this opportunity to share with others at this
year’s Conference both what you are doing and what you see being done in these and related
areas. And if your resource material or proposed approach is one that can be easily employed by
others, so much the better,
Papers being submitted to this track and /or any questions about possible submissions should be
sent to both track cochairs.

Macromarketing concerns itself with complex, wicked and important problems (Wooliscroft,
2016). This leads to particular methodological issues and highlights the importance of well
measured variables as inputs and the need for systems analysis and modelling. This track invites
papers that deal with methodological and measurement focused research and developments
related to macromarketing phenomena.

The conceptual framework of the marketing-systems approach is a starting point for the
identification and development of intertheoretical relationships and interdisciplinary cooperation
within the social sciences (Layton 2016). Economic (Greif and Mokyr 2017), sociological (Scott
2014a) and marketing-oriented (Mittelstaedt et al. 2006) institutional theories are related to the
marketing-systems approach. Scott’s (2014a) distinction between regulative, normative, and
cognitive pillars of institutions and the antecedents to heterogeneity of marketing systems are
translatable into each other; and both research strands share perspectives and units of analysis
with the “dominant social paradigm” (Kilbourne et al. 1997). Against this backdrop, this track
invites papers addressing what (Scott 2014b) called wider cultural framework.
Welcome are both papers and extended abstracts which deal with cultural elements in markets or
marketing systems on the one hand, and the role that culture does or can play for the
understanding and the study of marketing systems on the other. For Parsons (1959), cultural
elements include systems of ideas, expressive symbols, and the value orientations of actors.
There is, however, no unique way to interpret and study cultural phenomena. The study of
cultural aspects, rooted in disciplines such as sociology, philosophy, and anthropology, has given
rise to various disciplinary perspectives, territorial bickering, or parochial thinking but also to
fruitful interdisciplinary cooperation. This gives reason to fundamental questions concerning
theory building/development in marketing studies.
Briefly, this track is interested in works that study culture and in works about how to study
culture. We invite papers, which address questions such as
In what regard are market phenomena influenced by ideas and values such as solidarity,
(distributive) justice, human dignity, and the common good (Klein, 2015; Hill and Capella,
2014)?
What role do (overlapping) ideologies such as economic or political ideologies, gender
ideologies, or consumerism play?
What tensions or conflicts can arise between actors’ ideologies or value orientations and the
wider cultural framework? How are tensions and conflicts related to progress of marketing
systems?
What are successful strategies for interdisciplinary theory building/development and
empirical research?
What are promising theoretical perspectives/approaches and what are relevant
empirical/theoretical problems?
Which epistemological and ontological perspectives are fruitful to approach the symbolic
dimension of markets?
Both theoretical analyses and empirical studies are welcome.

Poverty, Structural Inequalities and Social Exclusion

In 2015 UN member states agreed upon Sustainable Development Goals, with “no poverty”
being the first of them. Despite global reduction of poverty and particularly extreme poverty, we
still have hundreds of millions of people living under $1.90 per day. Though the World Bank
will release updated figures on this in October 2018. Thus, the track on poverty and related
phenomenon of structural inequalities and social inclusion/exclusion are timely topics for the
2019 Macromarketing conference.
We call for papers on poverty as phenomenon: relative and absolute poverty, economic, social
and structural poverty, as well as papers on solutions for poverty alleviation and ending by 2030.
While in some societies structural inequalities like lack of access to education and health care
cause both economic and social poverty, societal structures prevent access to work and shelter in
other societies. Thus, macro issues on societal structures will be welcomed papers. In a similar
vein, exclusion from market places like financial or retailing services create unfairness that may
lead to poverty. The phenomenon of poverty, structural inequalities and exclusion are not only
relevant for less affluent societies, but ever increasing aspects of rich parts of the world, making
the track a global arena for discussions on these topics.

Quality of Life (QOL) & Wellbeing are key concepts in macromarketing. The “promotion of
individual well-being … is one of the legitimate goals – perhaps the most important goal – of the
modern state” (Andrews, 1974, p. 279). The market, market provisions and consumption are key
components that can enable, but also reduce (perceived) QOL and Wellbeing. Although the
concepts have been investigated for decades, Quality of Life and Wellbeing receive
unprecedented attention: Research explores different components of QOL & Wellbeing,
including antecedents, consequences and correlates; organizations compare QOL in different
countries (e.g. OECD Better Living Index, Gallup World Poll) and governments integrate QOL
and Wellbeing indicators in their policies and budget planning (e.g. Bhutan, New Zealand,
Scotland, UAE, to name a few).
This track invites papers dealing with QOL and Wellbeing in the context of markets and
consumption. We encourage quantitative and/or qualitative approaches. Papers submitted to this
track should treat QOL/Wellbeing as a key variable rather than as implicit outcome.

To rock and roll, social marketing needs wider horizons. Social marketing needs to proactively
respond 21st
century challenges. Be it is a health threat such as the antimicrobial resistance, flu
vaccinations, obesity or an environmental challenge in relation to climate change, marine plastic
pollution or energy conservation, social marketing’s agenda is not static and neither should
social marketing be. Problems faced by social marketing are constantly evolving. WHO have
declared ‘health to be the business of’ all, while the UN’s 17 sustainable development goals
(SDGs) are mobilising public and private efforts to deal with local-to-global complex economic,
social and environmental issues. Each year brings a sophisticated arsenal of technologies and
tools for social marketing to deploy when diagnosing problems and designing interventions such
as apps, blogs, facebook to data analytics and Big Data. ‘Scaling-up or out‘ behaviour change is
no longer about mid or upstream interventions, it’s about multi-level interventions (Layton,
2015; Brennan, Previte and Fry 2016., Hastings and Domegan, 2017); services, relationships and
networks (Russell-Bennett et al., 2013, Mulcahy et al., 2018); reflective evaluations (Gordon &
Gurrieri, 2014., McHugh et al, 2018); looking beyond the individual “to see human collectives
and actions or choices in ever wider time and spaces” (Layton, 2015, Duffy, 2016 and Duffy et
al., 2018). The reality is straightforward, social marketing is looking for big change - social
change, system change and/or systemic change (Laczniak and Murphy 2012., Hillebrand et al.
2015., Layton 2015 and Kennedy 2016, 2017).
Following the success of social marketing tracks at previous Macromarketing conferences, we
welcome papers for this track that respond to the conference theme and examine social
marketing’s theories and practices that might enable it to rock and roll. Specifically we call for
papers that:
align social marketing with the UN SDGs
account for both individual and systemic factors in social marketing
design multi-level interventions
examine or use Big Data and data analytics in social marketing
use distributive justice, systems thinking or gender and other macromarketing constructs and
domains to assist social marketing in its big change agenda.

Subsistence Marketing & Development

Development can be construed as the process of expanding the real freedoms that individuals,
groups and nations enjoy (Sen, 1999). The emphasis on the expansion of freedoms is more
comprehensive than narrower views of development that confound development with growth of
GNP, technological advancement, or social modernization (Sen, 1999). One of the principal
goals of the Macromarketing approach is to study how the societal function of marketing can be
employed as a potent tool for fostering development (Hunt, 1977; Shultz, 2007). For example,
marketing systems in various, evolving geo-political contexts have demonstrated that policy
changes and reforms to marketing systems can be catalysts for positive social changes (e.g.,
Barrios et al. 2016; Layton 2009; Nguyen, Rahtz and Shultz 2014; Shultz , Rahtz, Sirgy, 2017).
In this track, we seek papers that advance our collective understanding on how marketing can
contribute to development.
1. Transition from destructive to constructive marketing systems
2. The complex interaction between vulnerable consumer’s need to preserve their resources
and their need to subsist (related to covering basic needs such as food, sanitation, and
protection)
3. Advertising, over production/consumption, and environmental degradation in developing
marketplaces.
4. The accountability of marketing systems to diverse consumer communities

Sustainable & Ethical Consumption

Humanity’s collective resource demand exceeds the limits of the Earth’s natural capital. It is
also a main driver of climate change, requiring us to find ways to curb overconsumption. A
meaningful decrease in consumption and greenhouse gas emissions can only be achieved if
consumers in industrialized nations alter their current materialistic way of life, which has
spread extensively around the world over the last six decades. Given the substantial influence
consumers have on environmental and social issues through their consumption patterns,
consumers can mitigate negative effects by changing the practices involved with their daily
consumption routines and adopting more sustainable consumption behaviors. Such forms of
consumption have been discussed in the literature using a variety of labels. For instance, Burke
et al. (2014) defined ethical consumerism as “the intentional purchase of products considered to
be made with minimal harm to humans, animals, and the natural environment” (p. 2237).
Similarly, Steg and Vlek (2009) described pro-environmental behaviors as forms of behavior
that harm the environment as little as possible, or even benefit the environment.
Sustainable & ethical consumption is one of the most critical topics to consider from a
macromarketing perspective. Consumption and consumer lifestyles evolve over time under the
influence of, for example, cultural norms, institutions, and marketing actions. Strategies geared
to implement more sustainable consumption patterns need to take such factors into
consideration to increase the likelihood of effecting consumer behavior change.
The Sustainable & Ethical Consumption track invites conceptual and empirical research
that explores consumption in the context of environmental, economic, and social sustainability;
that examines how sustainable & ethical consumption is being promoted and implemented
through marketing and public policy practices; or that explores the impact sustainable & ethical
consumption has on general societal flourishing as well as the health of the planet.
Examples of possible topics include, but are not limited to the following:
1. Societal and wellbeing effects of overconsumption
2. Marketing’s role in enabling (or hindering) sustainable / ethical consumption
3. Consumer culture and sustainable / ethical consumption
4. Voluntary simplicity and other low-impact lifestyle concepts associated with sustainable
forms of consumption
5. Cross-cultural investigations of consumer attitudes regarding sustainable consumption
6. Impacts of reduced (sustainable) consumption on current economic systems
7. Implementation of particular pro-environmental behaviors, such as using public
transportation, conserving energy and water, buying and consuming local / organic foods,
avoiding food waste
8. Consumer and marketing concepts that encourage reduced vs. “green” consumption
9. Effects of product labeling such as fair trade, organic, vegan
10. Historical perspectives on sustainable / ethical consumption
Full papers are preferred but extended abstracts will also be considered.

Following the first track on the role of technologies within the macromarketing field in 2017 at
Leipzig, this year the track will explore further how new and emerging technologies are
disrupting market structures in both what and how value is devised and delivered to a range of
stakeholders, such as firms, customers and others (see eg., Wolf, 2009 and 2019; Rettberg, 2014;
McAfee & Brynjolfsson 2017). In recent years, technological advancements include search tools,
social media, content marketing, big data (and the open data movement), crypto-currencies, self-
monitoring or Quantified Self (QS) movement (egs., Pantzar & Rickensten, 2015; Lupton, 2016),
in-home/in-car voice activated assistants (eg., Siri, Alexa, Echo, Cortana), Internet of Things
(IoT), automata and AI (artificial intelligences), among many others. Increasingly, these
technologies result in novel designed interfaces (smart devices) that are continue to influence
major shifts in the ways that markets operate and consumers experience traditional and emergent
new products and services. Some may be ubiquitously and inconspicuously consumed within
their environment and others are made visible through novel interfaces and touchpoints (Bode &
Kristensen, 2016; van Doorn et al 2017). Examples include sensor-based technologies that
automate supply chains in firms and across service systems; automata including robots and AI
devices provide novel services and engagement platforms such as policing, health and customer
service desk information. Categories of robot are being considered as ‘caregivers’ (Kohlbacher
& Rabe 2015), providing both cognitive and affective support that encompasses teaching and
learning (di Lieto et al 2017) and emotional agency for human consumers and automated social
presence actors (‘technology infusions’) are increasingly being considered within service
contexts by firms to deliver consistent consumer experiences.
Taking one such example, robots have become familiar as humanoid devices for information
processing and naturalistic interaction. What makes the applications pertinent to marketers is not
only the human-like ways in which devices process data (see eg., de Burgt et al 2017) but the
ways in which outputs are viewed by users as demonstrating emotion, empathy and human-level
understanding, potentially evoking user feelings of attachment to them (Goudey & Bonnin 2016;
Belk 2016, 2017). Drawing on the robotics and AI literatures, researchers within marketing are
predicting the rapid convergence of AI-based systems (robots) and [IA] intelligent augmentation
systems (insideables, wearables, neuroprosthetics) with humans (biological systems) within the
next 10-30 years. Robots will evolve from programmed tools to semi-autonomous and
autonomous entities and extend their anthropomorphic projection to become a ‘legal non-person’
displaying a personhood and consciousness which raises important questions about the nature of
human relationships with the ‘other’ (see eg., van Doorn et al 2017; Huang & Rust 2018).
Conversely, cyborg is defined as a modified (augmented) human (Haraway 1985 & 1991;
Buchanan-Oliver, Cruz & Schroeder 2010) and is the integration of technologies within the body
by way of mechanical and/or technological implants or ‘insideables’ (Mouthuy & Carr 2017).
Technology researchers (eg., Kurzweil in Galeon & Reedy, 2017) predict humanoid robots and
cyborgs will become the dominant form of service provider in future. Preliminary research
suggests there is consumer fear of such hybridity: Bhattacharyya and Kedzior’s (2012) found
27. M a c r o m a r k e t i n g C o n f e r e n c e C a l l f o r P a p e r s 2 0 1 9 P a g e | 26
that consumers believed they may lose their ‘humanness’ in becoming cyborg. We may already
be in a posthuman era, that is, consciousness has been changed by our integration with
technologies (Cole-Turner 2011) while others suggest change is biological through technology
adaptations, such as ‘neuroprosthetics’ (see http://www.cbas.global/), and therefore we are
transhuman (for a detailed discussion of the theoretical distinctions see Belk 2017 and
forthcoming). Increased computer processing capacities support the possibility for industrial
applications of technologies to replace a human workforce in an increasingly diverse range of
contexts (eg., Ford 2017; van Doorn et al 2017).
The disruption seen is a megatrend that will continue to impact markets as technologies become
increasingly embedded into our everyday lives: relevant research is found in science, technology,
arts and social sciences. Developments raise important questions for the market actors, such as
firms and brands, that will be the first to employ them to support service delivery systems. This
highlights the need for greater understanding of the breadth of issues that will impact
stakeholders involved in marketing-related activities. To what extent do technologies emancipate
customers and transform markets for the benefit of stakeholders?
In this track, we call for papers that address any aspect of the roles of emergent technologies and
their application in disrupting and transforming markets. Topics may be conceptual, applied or
practice-based, relating to –
market structures and roles of emergent technologies in their development
technology-led market adaptations and their influence on customers and firms
decision-support systems and algorithmic design (eg., AI and IA) for markets and marketing
structures
interface design (device led or ubiquitous) and their influence on behaviour
data and open data initiatives and the roles of facilitating structures such as legislation,
market forces, etc.
impacts of supply chain technologies eg., IoT, crypto-currencies, etc.
impacts of automated service actors (AI and IA-based)
ethical considerations related to emergent technologies in market and service design
case studies of specific roles of identified technologies eg., QS, autonomous vehicles, drones,
IBM’s WatsonTM
, etc.
any other relevant aspects
