Dear Colleagues - Here's your big chance to get involved in social entrepreneurship! Our merry little band of SE fanatics (Jeff, Johanna, Jill, Bob, Tom, et al.) want to see lots of your shining faces at both of the 2 social entrepreneurship PDWs too! All we have to offer is killer research, teaching and outreach... and fun!

This is a forward from the good folks at Ashoka who, in partnership with Skoll, have created something that I think you will really enjoy and find useful! (Saw a preview of this at ISERC at NYU)

www.universitynetwork.org (it's still getting its final touches to be ready for primetime in August - Please feel free to send any submissions for the site to
submissions@Ashoka.org. If you have any questions or would like to speak to someone, please contact Marina Kim at +1-703-527-8300 Ext. 318
We cordially invite submissions to the University Network. The University Network will serve as a forum for focusing on Social Entrepreneurship (SE) as an academic field and has been created through a collaboration of leaders in the field including Ashoka: Innovators for the Public. The network enables the exponential expansion of social entrepreneurship education around the world and stimulates innovation in pedagogy and practice. Through support of nascent and current SE educators, the network will increase the overall number and quality of educators, leading to an increase in the number and quality of students who are exposed to SE principles.
By sharing research – both completed and in progress – members improve the quality, quantity, and relevance of knowledge products on social entrepreneurship. In turn, there will be improvements in the marketing of the concept and field, as well as the understanding of key problems faced by social entrepreneurs and their potential solutions.
We welcome contributions from educators, researchers, practitioners, and policy-makers, including: corporate leaders, social scientists, ethnographers, and anthropologists. Please include a biography page with all submissions which includes contact information.
