ACR Community E-List

What is the ACR Community E-List?
The Community E-List (formerly ListsServ) is an electronic mailing list to discuss any topic related to consumer research. This list is a discussion group for researchers, practitioners, and graduate students working in the interdisciplinary field of consumer research. Specifically, the E-list is a platform for consumer researchers to:

  • Post announcements relevant to ACR members and those interested in the field of consumer research, such as conferences, special issues of journals, job openings, and availability of working papers.
  • Discuss issues relevant to consumer researchers and ACR members.
  • Exchange views about theories of consumer research and evidence bearing on those theories.
  • Access the collective expertise of the subscribers concerning questions relevant to the practice of consumer research.
  • Facilitate collaborative efforts concerning substantive, methodological, and conceptual questions of interest to consumer researchers.
  • Share information concerning the Association for Consumer Research Annual Conference.

ACR Community E-List Rules

  • Discussions are fine, with disagreements necessary. However, repeated personal attacks may lead to a revocation of subscription.
  • Remember, others are more likely to read your post when it is short and well-titled in the subject line.
  • When replying to other posts, please copy only the relevant parts of other subscribers’ messages to keep your post short.
  • Please sign your name at the end of your post.
  • Please use plain text rather than HTML for your message. Some of our subscriber’s mailers cannot read HTML.
  • Posts of a commercial nature are unwelcome and will result in consequences for anyone posting such a message.
