The Money, Markets, and Consumption Workshop emphasizes the role of ethnographic fieldwork and historical findings to critically analyze economic assumptions. The workshop provides a forum for both theory and research into empirical, “on the ground” economic behavior around markets, money, and consumption, which allows researchers to observe and deduce the various social and cultural factors that influence and problematize this behavior. This workshop aims to build up an interdisciplinary community of students and faculty to both critique and complement rational economic theories about individual and group economic behavior, through factors such as social, cultural, and historical context.
