Episode 058: Russ Belk

How do we extend ourselves through our possessions? In this episode of Podcast or Perish, I speak with Prof. Russ Belk, the esteemed consumer culture theorist from the Schulich School of Business. Russ is widely known for his research on the connection between the things and experiences we consume and our sense of self. I talk to him about his seminal research in this area, and about how he remains so extraordinarily prolific as an elder academic.
