About Cecilia Soler

My research on sustainable consumption focuses on how consumer culture and marketing practices shape consumption. In particular I am concerned with the construction of affluent consumer identities and ever-increasing levels of novelty consumption. I also study the impact such identities have on perceived consumer stress. My second preferred field of interest concerns sustainability certifications in global supply chains and how competing certifications influence exchange on the global market and simultaneously have an impact on environemntal protection and social justice in production. Third, I study the socio-material features of poverty alleviating consumption among urban subsistence households in India.
