Katariina Sorvari: “Moral misalignments in consumption practices: The case of Vegan Challenge
Research has shown that consumption practices are central to the ways consumers navigate moral commitments. This study utilizes the moral tribe conceptualization to explore ‘moral misalignments’ emerging in the vegan consumption practice. Taking the Vegan Challenge community as a context, we observe the misalignments across practice elements and their reconfiguration.
Katariina Sorvari is a doctoral researcher at the School of Marketing and Communication. Her research is situated in the fields of consumer research and marketing, focusing on consumer culture, moral consumption, and plant-based food consumption practices.
The seminar is organised by the Sustainable Business and Society thematic group at the University of Vaasa. This thematic group is multidisciplinary. The goal of the group is to bring together researchers from the University of Vaasa around the theme of sustainability, and to enhance the quality and impact of research through collegial collaboration.
Warm welcome!
