On 22 June 2021, Liesbeth van de Grift presented a paper on consumer activism and representation at the Council of European Studies Conference. She participated in the panel ‘Europe as a Space for Transformative Politics in the 1970s’ organized by Sarah Farmer (University of California, Irvine), together with Steven Milder (University of Groningen) and Keith M. Murphy (UC Irvine). The paper, collectively written with Koen van Zon and Alessandra Schimmel, shows how consumer policies and representation within the European Economic Community were strongly shaped by the market integration logics of the European project.
