Research on Social Enterprise and Entrepreneurship Summer School
Aims
This summer school course covers major and foundational topics research on social entrepreneurship and social enterprise (SE). The objective of the course are, (1) to familiarize you with some of the core concepts and primary theoretical underpinnings of research on social entrepreneurship; (2) to help you gain a stronger understanding of, and think critically about, the SE domain, including its research requirements and methods for publishing scholarly research in management and organizational studies; and, (3) to provide a forum where you can further develop your thinking and writing skills as a social entrepreneurship scholar.
The primary purpose of the course is to develop your ability to do scholarly research in this area. Therefore, the course should help you to (1) develop, refining, and present your own research ideas; (2) gain a better understanding of the research and publication processes; and (3) empower you to find your own voice.
Information
Class sessions will be devoted to reviewing and critiquing readings on social entrepreneurship and exposing you to different theoretical and analytical lenses through which to view SE research. We will also discuss pathways to make your research accessible to a broader audience, to develop research that is practically useful and how to identify “relevant” research questions.
Assessment
This will be a pass/fail course requiring active preparation and participation by students. We will also create space for students presenting their own work.
Materials
We will share a full reading class on Canvas. Readings will include work by the instructor, articles published recently in the management and organization outlets, and literature in adjacent disciplines.
