Description
Contextualization has been described as the third wave in entrepreneurship research and as a means of advancing our understanding of the lived experience of entrepreneurs. For women’s entrepreneurship, contextualization offers a rigorous, robust and systematic means to advance our understanding of their diverse lived experiences. It also opens up opportunities to explore how social, institutional, political, economic, and other factors inform decision-making in regards to becoming an entrepreneur or being an entrepreneur. Contextualization opens up the opportunity for comparative studies, to explore under-researched issues and to experiment with novel methodological approaches. Furthermore, it can provide an evidence base that can have practical relevance for women entrepreneurs and for ecosystem stakeholders that support them.
During this webinar contributors, from Women and Global Entrepreneurship: Contextualising Everyday Experiences will explore women entrepreneurship through three dimensions, where it happens, who it happened to and when it happens, and in so doing will discuss future avenues of research, methodological approaches as well as policy and practice considerations. This webinar will also provide participants with the opportunity to explore and reflect on the challenges of taking a contextualization approach in conducting women's entrepreneurship research.
