Launching the International Journal Of Gender and Entrepreneurship Special Issue: Feminist Approaches to Gender and Entrepreneurship Research
Coinciding with International Women’s Day celebrations, in this webinar we celebrate the International Journal of Gender and Entrepreneurship (IJGE) Special Issue (SI) entitled Feminist Approaches to Gender and Entrepreneurship Research. As you will see from the Webinar Schedule below, this special issue introduces new research from an intrinsically feminist perspective. It brings together feminist research in diverse contexts including entrepreneurial ecosystems, social entrepreneurship, digital entrepreneurship and community-based tourism, and draws on a variety of feminist perspectives, including postcolonial feminism, feminist standpoint and poststructural feminism. In doing so, the six articles featured in this special issue collectively integrate diverse theoretical and empirical insights, challenge dominant paradigms, and offer a robust foundation for reimagining gender and entrepreneurship research through feminist perspectives.
Join us to hear from the authors and to see how their articles not only enrich our understanding of gendered entrepreneurial experiences but also offer actionable pathways for promoting inclusivity and empowerment. With your support, this special issue can serve as a catalyst for advancing the field towards greater inclusivity, diversity, and equity.
