  • Exploring Self-Based Consumer Behaviour Approaches to Understanding Demand Reduction for Rhino Horn and Ivory
    Imperial College London Imperial College Business School Exploring self-based consumer behaviour approaches to understanding demand reduction for rhino horn and ivory Vian Sharif A thesis submitted to Imperial College London for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy 1 ABSTRACT Within our lifetimes, iconic species that walked the earth for some 50 million years - elephant and rhino, for example - could vanish. Why? In making sense of the mystery that finds buyers paying inflated prices of some $97,000 per kilo for some wildlife commodities that are without obvious utility, governments, NGOs and law enforcement agencies recognise that demand for illegal wildlife products must be better understood if the trade is to end. An influential premise cited by Belk (1988) and developed in the consumer marketing literature is that “we cannot hope to understand consumer behaviour without first gaining some understanding of the meanings that consumers attach to possessions. That we are what we have is perhaps the most basic and powerful fact of consumer behaviour.” (1988, p.139). Despite this foundational principle, research informed by this concept has not been widely applied to understanding consumer decision-making for illegal wildlife products. To address this, the present research is one of the first to test dimensions conferred upon two illegal wildlife products using theory based on this evidence with the aim of understanding the drivers behind consumers’ buying decisions. In three studies, I demonstrate that it is possible to fill a gap in the literature by applying self-based customer brand frameworks to explore consumer relationships to high profile illegal wildlife products.

  • Landscaping Change Programme
    Exploring the transformation, reconstitution and disruption of environments through the arts and humanities and social science Bath Spa University, Newton Park Campus. 29th – 31st March 2016 Welcome to Landscaping Change What happens when the places we know change? Whether changes are caused by environmental events, regeneration and conservation initiatives, or development spurred by business, alteration of the material fabric of place can subtlety alter or deeply disturb the experience of those whose sense of identity and feelings of belonging may be entangled with that place. Landscaping Change is a series of events, following by a conference, which explores the meaning of place for the diverse people who live, work, and play there. Connecting writers and artists with humanities scholars and local community groups and charities, it will explore how we value and respond to place, and how such care and concern can inform thinking on how changes to environments can be made to work for local wildlife and connected ecologies, and for local people. Landscaping Change is kindly supported by the British Academy through their Rising Star Engagement Award 2015-2016. Events are organised by Dr Samantha Walton and are affiliated with Bath Spa University’s Writing and the Environment Research Centre and the College of Liberal Arts. 1 Contents Timetable p.3 Keynotes p.6 Artwork p.7 Performance p.8 Workshop p.12 Abstracts (organised by panels) p.13 Venues p.40 Speaker Biographies p.41 2 Tuesday 29th March 9.40-10.00 Registration, 1st Floor, Commons

The Grand Hotel was an appropriate place at which to meet her: it's sophisticated and charming, with a natural air of graciousness about it. Sadly, the devastated pier was on full view from the window, and I wondered what Sue thought of its demise, brought on by years of procrastination by the Council and the commercial sector. She regrets the architectural loss to the country, but wonders whether, in a city with the social needs of Brighton, the millions needed to rebuild it could not be better used in other ways? Sue Ward created The Art Book in 1993 and has been its Editor ever since, notwithstanding the buy-out from Blackwell Publishers and the AAH five years ago, which enabled its further growth and international expansion. This year The Art Book celebrates it 10th birthday - a tremendous moment. Among the year's celebratory festivities will be an elite gathering at the Century Club in New York. I asked Sue whether she had made a conscious decision to mix the heavy workloads of motherhood and career woman? Her immediate response was that she had always wanted both and had never imagined either life-style to be mutually exclusive.

  • Impact Case Study (Ref3b) Page 1 Institution
    Impact case study (REF3b) Institution: Birkbeck, University of London Unit of Assessment: 34 Art and Design: History, Practice and Theory Title of case study: Computer Arts – establishing technoculture collections 1. Summary of the impact As a result of research conducted at Birkbeck’s VASARI Centre, two significant new art collections of digital art provided the basis for establishing the first National Collection of Computer Art at the Victoria and Albert Museum launched with a major free exhibition in late 2009. The two AHRC funded research projects, ‘Computer Arts, Histories, Context etc’ (2002-5) and ‘Computer Art and Technocultures’ (2007-10) also played a significant role in highlighting the importance of computer art and computer applications in art history. A further consequence of the research was the re- establishment of Computer Arts Society, and several innovative initiatives in digital arts. 2. Underpinning research Birkbeck has a longstanding research specialism in computer art and computer applications in art history, established by Prof Will Vaughan in the 1980s, based in the Vasari Research Centre which plays an increasingly pivotal international role in integrating digital research and maintaining and digitizing important analogue material in the computer arts. In 2002, digital culture researcher Dr Charlie Gere was approached to be PI on the AHRC project ‘Computer Arts, Histories, Context etc’ (CACHe). CACHe developed out of a collection of early computer art held by the Computer Arts Society (founded 1969). The researchers (Gere: 1998-2005; Brown 2002-2005; Mason – at BBK 2002- 2006; Lambert, 2002-present) contacted the artists represented in this collection in order to recover their personal collections, interview them and establish a chronology of the era that would show how they contributed both individually and as a group to the evolution of digital art as a strand of fine art in the UK (Refs 1, 2).

It seeks a renewed consideration of the role of art in illuminating human identity in a positive relation with technology, and its transformative effects upon space and time. The concerns for the role of art amidst the forces of a post-modern world are influenced by important legacies of the past, by which ideas about human identity and difference have been made meaningful in the relation of history and technology. In the frequently transient and conflicting forces of humanness and forces of modernity, the digital world of the arts emerges as a means by which new ideas of space and time can be considered, with new perspectives of human identity seen as states of being, towards the possibilities of experience, technology, individuality and society.
