Vita:
Vita:After studying International Economic and Business at the University of Innsbruck and the Wilfrid Laurier University, Sarah Schwarz joined the marketing and branding team in April 2019. Her research interests revolve around consumer behavior, specifically consumer culture theory (CCT). She draws upon qualitatively oriented methods such as in-depth interviews, projective techniques, netnographic investigations and (visual) content analyses to investigate into how digital nomads’ consumption lifestyles manifest in experiences of luxury, materiality, and sustainability.
