Don Slater's work focuses on the relations between culture and economy, and falls into three broad areas: the sociology of economic life (in particular, consumer culture and market society); the sociology of the Internet and new media; and visual sociology (particularly photography and advertising). His work on sociology of economic life includes Consumer Culture and Modernity (Polity: 1997) and Market Society: Markets and Modern Social Thought, with Dr Fran Tonkiss (Polity: 2000). He is also co-editor, with Prof George Ritzer, of the Journal of Consumer Culture. Don Slater's Internet research has focused on ethnographic approaches to the new media, and has so far included an ethnography of Internet use in Trinidad ' The Internet: An Ethnographic Approach, with Prof Daniel Miller (Berg: 2000); a study of community radio and Internet in Sri Lanka, with Peter Lewis and Dr Jo Tacchi; and a study of on-line pornography traders.
