Entrepreneurship Among Veterans, Minorities, 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 17th and 18th, 2022. The colloquium is the second of a series of annual colloquia supported by a grant from the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation. Due to COVID-19, the 2022 edition of the colloquium will be in 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, minorities, 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.
