Elizabeth A. Minton serves as Associate Professor of Marketing in the Department of Management & Marketing at the University of Wyoming's College of Business, an R1 research institution. Her interdisciplinary work bridges religious studies, consumer psychology, and social impact research.
Education:
- Ph.D., University of Oregon
- M.B.A., Idaho State University
- B.B.A., University of Alaska Southeast
Research Focus: Dr. Minton's pioneering research examines religion's influence on consumption patterns, particularly how religious identity shapes ethical decisions and responses to marketing stimuli. Her pro-social marketing investigations emphasize sustainability drivers and health behaviors, while her consumer grief studies explore stigmatized loss experiences including bereavement after baby loss. This tripartite framework has generated significant theoretical and practical contributions across marketing subfields.
Publication Trajectory: Recent publications (2023-2025) reveal methodological maturation through scale development in religiosity measurement, cross-cultural expansions comparing Western and Eastern contexts, and applied interventions addressing food waste reduction and service quality for vulnerable populations. Her work increasingly integrates psychological mechanisms like causal uncertainty and essentialist beliefs with real-world sustainability challenges.
Professional Context: With over 70 peer-reviewed publications in top journals including Journal of Consumer Psychology and Journal of Public Policy & Marketing, Dr. Minton maintains active international collaborations. Her pre-academic industry experience in tourism and small business development informs her practical research approach. Office: BU 345; Contact: (307) 766-3616.
