Consumer Research Network: Lamla, a sociologist from Kassel, is spokesman for the coordinating body
Image: Mense/University of Kassel.The Consumer Research Network brings together researchers from different disciplines - such as economics, cultural studies, law and social sciences - to exchange ideas on interdisciplinary consumer research. It currently has around 250 members. The focus is on consumption as well as challenges of the consumer society such as sustainability or digitalization. The research topics are oriented toward the interests and needs as well as the social situation of consumers.
The network serves as a platform for interdisciplinary, consumer science exchange and as a contact point for (consumer) issues. The aim is to strengthen interdisciplinary consumer science in Germany in order to establish it as an independent field of research in its entire range. The work of the network provides impulses to the research landscape for broader basic research as well as for specific consumer topics. By generating and communicating consumer science findings, it makes a significant and visible contribution to real-world consumer policy.
Lamla (born 1969) has held a professorship in sociological theory at the University of Kassel since 2013. Since 2015, he has been one of the directors of the Scientific Center for Information Technology Design at the University of Kassel (ITeG). Among other publications, he is the author of the volume Consumer Democracy. Political Sociology of Consumer Society (2013).
