Call for Papers - Fashion Marketing Symposium, 15th September 2021, University of South Wales/Prifysgol De Cymru
Call for Papers:
Inaugural Fashion Marketing Symposium (Virtual)
Theme: Changes
Date: Wednesday 15th September 2021
Organiser: Dr Elizabeth Lloyd Parkes, University of South Wales/Prifysgol De Cymru
Abstract Deadline: 11th July 2021.
The purpose of the symposium is to promote dialogue and develop knowledge on fashion marketing topics amongst academics and practitioners. The event will allow the exploration of specific issues in some depth, and will draw upon research in this area, allowing the dissemination of findings, exploration of theoretical and practical contributions, and networking amongst those interested and working in the field.
The inaugural event will have as its theme, “Changes”. This is deliberately ambiguous, and will allow the exploration of developments in academic and practitioner-based settings from all angles. We welcome the opportunity to expose and discuss insightful theoretical concepts and practical contributions that will offer insight into business practices and society at large, within the context of fashion marketing.
The inaugural event will be held in a virtual environment and for its first iteration, will be free of charge to attendees.
