Russell Belk, Distinguished Research Professor and Marketing Chair at York University in Toronto, Ontario, will present Collecting and Collections on Saturday, April 27 from 11:30 am to 1 pm Central Time (10:30 am to noon Mountain Time). The Zoom presentation is being hosted by the Global Village Museum of Arts and Cultures in Fort Collins, Colorado.
It has been estimated that one out of every three people collect something, says Dr. Belk, a member of the Senior Advisory Board for the Journal of Marketing Management. What role do collections play in our lives, families, and communities? What do we collect, and what does that say about us? How does collecting transform the objects, and how does collecting change us?
Dr. Belk is the author of more than 800 journal articles and books as well as the recipient of numerous awards. In the announcement of his election as a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada, Dr. Belk was described as a world leader in his field as well as one of the founders of Consumer Culture Theory.
