She holds a PhD in Economics from the University of Sydney, Australia. Her research interests lie with the historical, socio-cultural, and political aspects of consumer culture and mar- kets in transitional societies. Her previous research examined classed consumption, materialities of marketing, and the intersection thereof with politics and state ideolo- gies, and it has been published in the Journal of Marketing, Journal of Macromarketing, Journal of Marketing Management, Ephemera, Journal of Material Culture, Business History Review as well as edited books. Pauline Maclaran is Professor of Marketing & Consumer Research at Royal Holloway University. Her research interests focus on cultural aspects of contempo- rary consumption, and she adopts a critical perspective to analyse the ideological assumptions that underpin many marketing activities, particularly in relation to gender issues. Her work also explores socio-spatial aspects of consumption, includ- ing the utopian dimensions of fantasy retail environments. She is a Co-editor in Chief of Marketing Theory, a journal welcoming alternative and critical perspectives in marketing and consumer research. Her most recent book, co-written with Professor Cele Otnes, is entitled, Royal Fever: The British Monarchy in Consumer Culture (California University Press). Steven Miles is Professor in Sociology at Manchester Metropolitan University, UK, Head of the Research Centre for Applied Social Sciences and author of Retail and the Artifice of Social Change (Routledge, 2016).

His key publications include Consumerism as a Way of Life (Sage, 1998), Youth Lifestyles in a Changing World (OUP, 2000) and Spaces for Consumption: Pleasure and Placelessness in the Post-Industrial City (Sage, 2010).
