Are you interested in consumer culture research? Zeynep Arsel, Ashlee Humphreys, and I recently compiled a non-exhaustive list of Journal of Consumer Research papers that we frequently draw upon in our own PhD-level teaching, mentoring, and workshop practice. From that list, the following nine papers are currently accessible for free (for a limited time).
