Subsistence Marketplaces Bottom-Up Immersion Conference
The stream of subsistence marketplaces has pioneered a unique, bottom-up approach to research, education, and practice at the intersection of poverty and marketplaces. The term subsistence emphasizes the qualitative nature of life circumstances wherein the ability to meet basic needs is chronically under threat (Viswanathan and Rosa, 2007)." Building on seven biennial conferences, four immersion conferences, and four virtual conferences in the last two decades and accompanying publications, we announce the fifth immersion conference on subsistence marketplaces. True to the bottom-up approach that characterizes the subsistence marketplaces stream, this conference is envisioned to take place on different continents over time, thus providing an opportunity for researchers, educators, practitioners, and students to engage directly with urban and rural subsistence marketplaces through conversations and observations.
