Visiting Scholar - Seminars

School of Business is organising two seminars with world-renowned scholar and Kraft Foods Canada Chair in Marketing - Professor Russell Belk. Professor Belk is currently associated with the Schulich School of Business at York University, Toronto. His research involves the meanings of possessions, collecting, gift-giving, sharing and materialism. This work is often cultural, visual, qualitative and interpretive. With a h-index of 71, Professor Belk has been the Inaugural recipient of Dean's Research Impact Award at York. With many visiting posts and fellowships in academic institutions around the world, Professor Belk is a distinguished international scholar in the area of consumer research. Sage has recently reproduced the seminal works by Professor Belk. 

The first set, in a series consisting of 10 volumes, 'Russell Belk, Sage Legends in Consumer Behavior' is a tribute to Professor Belk as one of the most prolific contemporary consumer behaviour and marketing scholar.
