Subsistence marketplaces consist of consumer and entrepreneur communities living at a range of low income levels, and are concentrated in developing countries and regions such as Brazil, India, China, Vietnam, and Sub-Saharan Africa. Additionally, many individuals and groups in developed countries also live in subsistence. In the last decade, the Subsistence Marketplaces Conference has been a leading forum for evolving and sharing research and fostering best practices in these communities. The subsistence marketplaces approach is unique in examining the intersection of poverty and marketplaces with a bottom-up approach that begins with micro-level understanding of life circumstances of consumers, entrepreneurs, and communities. This stream has been reflected in five biennial conferences and almost 60 refereed articles in related special journal issues, as well as in dedicated session tracks at other conferences and refereed articles in a variety of journals.



In its sixth iteration, the 2016 conference is titled to highlight how subsistence marketplaces are at the intersection of diverse disciplines as well as the interface of research and practice. A key emphasis now is to look back to the previous five conferences and the resultant research, education, and practice; as well as to look forward to pave new pathways for current and emerging scholars. In doing so, the conference will highlight boundary-spanning research and practice and work that moves from research to practice and back again. Thus, we aim to highlight the importance of rigorous and relevant research and how such research is informed by, and can further inform, meaningful and engaged practice.



The specific themes for this conference help organize the broad work in the field and facilitate discussion among participants:



Traversing Theory and Practice - Stakeholder Dialogues of Subsistence Marketplaces – refers to developing a deeper conceptual understanding of subsistence marketplaces and its linkage to business, social enterprise, and policy



The Institutional and Organizational Dimensions of Enterprises and Public Partnerships – examines the unique aspects of institution building, organizational design, and market creation in subsistence marketplaces, covering social and commercial enterprises



Integration and Visioning in Subsistence Marketplaces Research – develops a vision for extending research and integrating them across disciplines and/or stakeholders and with practice, generating research problems with implications for practice examining how research can translate to practice and vice versa, and research at the interface of disciplines ranging from the physical to the social sciences



Survival, Subsistence, and Transformative Entrepreneurship – examines the nature of survival at both a material and psychological level, and how entrepreneurship can facilitate the evolution from surviving to thriving



Sustainability and Consumption from the Bottom Up – examines how consumption and long-term perspectives on environmental, social, and/or economic changes in subsistence interact and impact individuals, organizations, and/or institutions engaged in subsistence marketplaces



Subsistence Narratives, Incentives, and Agency – examines the processes that surround justice and empowerment for individuals as consumers, entrepreneurs, and producers; as well as implications for organizations and/or institutions engaged in subsistence marketplaces



Disruption, Technology, and Innovation – examines how technology and innovation can cause disruptive forces, and how the benefits/drawbacks of those disruptive forces can be better understood and employed from the perspectives of individuals, organizations, and/or institutions



Curricular Innovations – refers to the development of modules, courses, and programs that bring subsistence marketplaces into the classroom and around the world through online education



Junior Scholar Mentorship – connects junior scholars with those with experience in the field and in the academy to facilitate research and develop long-term relationships



The conference begins with an evening reception Friday, June 17, and sessions through Saturday and midafternoon Sunday, June 19. The conference purposefully includes a blend of plenary sessions, participatory workshops, special topical sessions, and presentations of papers submitted in response to this call. The emphasis is on sharing nascent ideas and knowledge (or new and provocative questions) among researchers, practitioners, and students.



Friday afternoon, June 17, is dedicated to a pre-conference workshop designed specifically for doctoral students and junior researchers.



A poverty simulation takes place, the evening of June 17.



Academics, students, social entrepreneurs, policy makers, and business and nonprofit practitioners are encouraged to submit papers and attend.
