GTN members Maurie Cohen and Juliet Schor both have articles in the upcoming Handbook of Research on Sustainable Consumption (May 2015).
Fromt the publisher’s page:
This Handbook compiles the state of the art of current research on sustainable consumption from the world’s leading experts in the field. The implementation of sustainable consumption presents one of the greatest challenges and opportunities we are faced with today. On the one hand, consumption is a wanted and necessary phenomenon important for society and the economy. On the other, our means of consumption contradicts many important ecological and social long-term goals. Set against this background, the Handbook aims to offer an interdisciplinary overview of recent research on sustainable consumption, to draw attention to this subject and to encourage discussion and debate. In 27 chapters, leading authorities in the field provide their expertise in a concise and accessible manner.
Juliet Schor has an article “Collaborating and Connecting: The Emergence of the Sharing Economy,” co-authored with Connor Fitzmaurice. Maurie Cohen has an article “Toward a Post-Consumerist Future? Social Innovation in an Era of Fading Economic Growth.”
