This event will take place in-person.
Summary
How can we make inquiry (into Entrepreneurship) more interesting and purposeful? Our capacity to question can be viewed as an ongoing process, paying attention to new understanding/knowledge is how we survive and make suitable adjustments to our lives and the world around us as we live. For any inquirer, every moment of everyday can become the subject of our curiosity and a point of study - indeed every aspect of our lives, the world in which we live and that of others in the world around. How we come to explore “human practice” in whatever guise we adopt, at the very basis involves questioning and dealing with what is discovered, through thoughtful processing and appropriate action.
In this workshop of three Acts, we seek to re-discover, re-explore what “inquiry” means to us, we seek to rediscover “practices” in regards to what it means to be curious, as to whether and how what one actually does inter-relates with how we view entrepreneurship as a field of inquiry. We present this as inquiry in the making, specifically drawing from expertise outside of the entrepreneurship field, where research and life experiences are central to our conversations. Giving attention to our inquiry enables us to appreciate the unpredictable and provisional relations between us as researchers/educators and the influence of our research. Thoughtful inquiry requires the questioning of the relationship between ourselves, our roles as researchers, writers, and practitioners, how we enact our relationships with our audiences and wider communities and the theories/ concepts we work with in meaningful ways.
