Dr Lauren Gurrieri is a marketing academic whose research examines gender, consumption and the marketplace with a focus on gender-based inequalities in consumer culture.
This includes how women can be stigmatized, stereotyped and excluded in marketing; issues of body idealisation, objectification and violent representations in marketing; and the strategies used by female consumers to resist and challenge marketplace norms.
Her most recent research investigates these issues in digital culture in the form of Instagram influencers.
