Transformative Consumer Research is a movement within the Association for Consumer Research community that seeks to encourage, support, and publicize research that benefits consumer welfare and quality of life for all beings affected by consumption across the world. 

 

We have a number of subcommittees that help us to disseminate and connect our research to practitioners, fosters partnerships between academia, industry partner and policy makers, and create bridges between funding opportunities, funders and TCR researchers.

Engage with Us

TCR creates opportunities for engagements between practitioners, funders and researchers, and supports efforts of scholars and practitioners to disseminate and publicize their research and work, and obtain mentoring and advice on grant applications.
