Congratulations Lauren Copeland

The journal Political Studies has accepted Lauren's manuscript entitled "Conceptualizing Political Consumerism: How Citizenship Norms Shape Boycotting and Buycotting." In this article, which is based on a dissertation chapter, Lauren analyzes boycotting and buycotting as political participation. Previous scholarship has treated these actions as variations on the same behavior, but in this article Lauren shows they are driven by different citizenship norms and should be treated in many cases as two kinds of political action.
