Third Annual Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation Sponsored Hybrid Colloquium on Transitional Entrepreneurship
June 23 and 24, 2023 at Strome College of Business,
Old Dominion University, Norfolk, Virginia
Entrepreneurship Among Veterans, Historically Marginalized Groups, Women, Immigrants, & Refugees
We invite scholars, students, and practitioners to submit completed papers, 'works in progress,' and panel proposals for the Transitional Entrepreneurship colloquium to be held on June 23rd and 24th, 2023. The colloquium is the third of a series of annual colloquia sponsored by a grant from the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation. The 2023 edition of the colloquium will be in a hybrid format.
What is Transitional Entrepreneurship?
Transitional entrepreneurship focuses on issues facing entrepreneurs from communities that face significant adversity in launching ventures and for whom the path involves substantive life transitions. We focus on entrepreneurs from veterans, immigrants, refugees, women, historically marginalized groups, and economically distressed communities.
As research on transitional entrepreneurs is at an early stage, we welcome papers from multiple perspectives, methodologies, regions, and themes with implications for theory, practice, and policy.
