Kudos to Denton Marks, professor of economics, who was named a fellow of the American Association of Wine Economists. Marks is the twelfth scholar to be named a fellow since 2006 and only the fifth who teaches at a U.S. university. Based in New York City, the association has an international membership of about 500 wine, beverage, and food scholars and 2,300 libraries and other institutions. Marks has written and presented a number of scholarly papers on wine auctions, the meaning of expertise, wine as a cultural good, and the consumer’s problem in buying wine.
Kudos to Dept. of Management faculty members who traveled to Amsterdam, the Netherlands, July 10-13 for the International Society for Third-Sector Research conference.
