ACR Featured on NPR News Quiz "Wait, Wait... Don't Tell Me."
Research presented at the 2009 North American ACR conference by Lisa Cavanaugh, Gavan Fitzsimons and Francesca Gino on the perils of giving so-call “ethical gifts” was part of the weekly roundup on NPR’s comedy show, “Wait, Wait…Don’t Tell Me.” Their study found that recipients of socially responsible gifts have very different reactions to the presents, depending on who gives it.

 Hi all,
Im a PhD candidate at University College Cork, Ireland. My research interests centre mostly around collective consumption, tribal identity patterns, food consumer behaviour and social-symbolic meanings associated with food.
My research specifically focuses on how food is used to create tribal community and experience across a wide gamut of micro-cultural consumer contexts such as during video-gameplay, car enthusiasts' "cruise" and during various social gatherings of young people.
If anyone wishes to find out more, please feel free to contact me through my student mailbox:
