TCR's teaching material repository is powered by the invaluable contributions of our community. This spring, we are recruiting doctoral students and junior scholars to help develop open access slides for the repository on the following topics:

​​

• Food Decision-Making and Well-being

• Psychological Underpinnings of Pro-Social Behavioral Change

• Privacy and Technology Well-being

• Marketplace Access (Discrimination, Exclusion, and Stigma in the Marketplace)

​​

Volunteers will be assigned to work in small teams based on a topic of interest and mentored by senior scholar specializing in that topic. Mentorship may include monthly meetings with your designated expert faculty member, or an alternative arrangement as agreed by the mentor and volunteers. We are particularly interested in supporting doctoral students and junior scholars at the start of their academic careers who are interested in topics related to consumer and societal well-being. We envision the final product to be an open-access slide deck on your focal topic, aimed at supporting educators teaching undergraduate courses related to the societal impact of marketing and consumer behavior.

Why Participate?
Beyond adding a valuable line to your CV, participants will benefit from:

​

• Recognition – Your name will be featured on the TCR website alongside your teaching materials. 

• Impact – We can provide concrete evidence of your academic impact such as data on views, downloads, and other engagement metrics, along with an official certificate acknowledging your contribution to the development of marketing education on a global level.

• Networking – Work closely with top scholars in your field and collaborate with fellow PhD students interested in social issues.

Program Timeline

The collaboration will run from April until early June, after which the slide decks will be uploaded onto the TCR teaching materials repository. However, teams and mentors are free to set their own schedules, as long as the slides are completed by June.
