Lauren Crossland-Marr, PhD
Post-Doctoral Researcher, International Development Department, Dalhousie University, GEAP-3 Network
My interests are in questions related to global markets and emerging technologies with a deep attention to inequality. I engage in these themes in the context of conversations and debates within economic anthropology, science and technology studies, environmental studies, and critical theory.
My scholarship reflects a commitment to reading global markets as spaces that disrupt and conjure new ways for engaging in the world. My research projects situate space—in work, offices, and online—as a critical perspective from which to theorize and problematize broader cultural shifts in the 21st century.
Publications
My publications investigate the ways people build sustainable food systems and the challenges consumers face in navigating such systems. I examine the process of institutionalizing ethical standards in food, which often align across ethical/religious lines because their work is conceptualized as addressing the same problem: obfuscation in the global food chain.
