Episode 144 – Daniel Hjorth – Crafting social entrepreneuring: intra-sectional possibilities in responding to GBV
The intersectional nature of gender-based violence (GBV) makes it unlikely that survivors can escape the socio-economic precarity that perpetuates this social ill. Current conceptualizations of the entrepreneurial process do not sufficiently account for the material constraints GBV survivors face in developing countries and/or in contexts of poverty, and as such, may not fully grasp their...

Episode 139 – Sosan Algahtani & James Cunningham – Gradually changing society: women entrepreneurs and institutional change in Saudi Arabia
In this article, we examine the emerging role of women entrepreneurs within changing socio-cultural institutions. The current literature presents limited insight on the processual dynamics of entrepreneurship among socio-cultural change, and so we adopt an inductive theory-building approach, drawing on the concept of institutional entrepreneurship. From this, we see the interaction of women’s...
