Call for Nominations: SCP Fellows
The Society for Consumer Psychology is seeking nominations of qualified individuals for SCP Fellow status. The criteria, as established by the SCP Board of Directors, are: Minimum standards for SCP Fellowship: - Current and prior SCP membership of at least one year;
- Active engagement at the time of nomination in the advancement of consumer psychology in any of its aspects;
- Five years of acceptable professional experience subsequent to the granting of the doctoral degree; and
- Evidence of unusual and outstanding contribution or performance in the field of consumer psychology.
Additional criteria: The most difficult judgment that must be made in connection with nominees for fellow status is to determine whether there has been "unusual and outstanding contribution or performance in the field of consumer psychology." - The existence of relevant publications is not enough. Publications must report impressive work, have an impact upon others, and have been refereed appropriately;
- Citation of the nominee's work by others is an important indicator of the impact of a contribution;
- Long-term SCP membership and activity (e.g., conference participation and leadership roles) are highly desirable;
- Accumulation of impact and performance over time must be demonstrated;
- Evidence of steady and continuing competence does not in itself meet the criterion of "outstanding and unusual."
Nomination procedure: The nominating member must be a member in good standing of the Society for Consumer Psychology. The nominator is responsible for preparing a letter of nomination, not to exceed three typewritten pages, that addresses the nominee's qualifications vis-à-vis the SCP Fellow criteria listed above. The letter must be accompanied by the nominee's current curriculum vitae. Both the letter and the CV must be submitted via email to the chair of the Fellows Committee. Nominations should be submitted in confidence, without informing the prospective Fellow. This avoids embarrassment should the nominee not be accepted. Unsuccessful nominations will automatically be re-considered for up to two additional years. Nominations are due June 14, 2020. The current Fellows Committee is Vicki Morwitz (chair), Barbara Kahn, and Debbie MacInnis. Nominations should be sent to vicki.morwitz@columbia.edu.

Call for Papers SCP Boutique Conference
Paucity in the Midst of Opulence: How Scarcity, Luxury, and Inequality Impact Consumer Behavior
Alohilani Resort Waikiki Beach, Honolulu, HI July 19-21, 2020 Consumption is impacted by having too little, too much, and the juxtaposition of the two. Consumer behavior across the globe is shaped by limitations of time, money, or choices, and simultaneously by an escalating desire for and observations of abundant luxury and opulence. Understanding how consumers navigate a lush marketplace while frequently experiencing scarcity and disparity in its many forms is therefore crucial. Examining the ways in which scarcity, opulence, and inequality influence consumer behavior and decision-making both independently and interactively can provide important and meaningful insights. This boutique conference aims to bring together researchers working on the topics of scarcity, luxury, and inequality to share their most exciting and recent research. Our hope is that this interaction will help guide new research by fostering a cross-fertilization of ideas and perspectives, and by facilitating collaborations that strengthen research in these areas. Conference FormatIn keeping with the boutique nature of the event, the conference will have a limit of 100 attendees, all of whom are involved in scarcity, luxury, inequality, or related research. Presenters, and then co-authors of accepted presentations, will have first priority in registering for the conference. The conference will then open up registration on a first-come first-serve basis until the attendance cap is reached. On July 19, 2020, participants will be welcomed with an evening reception at the Alohilani Resort Waikiki Beach. The conference will begin on the morning of July 20, 2020 and will continue until the afternoon of July 21, 2020. Note that all presenters must have obtained a doctoral degree. Conference attendance may also be open to doctoral students should space be available.
