    Ray,

    Check out the Social Entrepreneurship Teaching Resources Handbook on the University Network for Social Entrepreneurship website www.universitynetwork.org/handbook<http://www.universitynetwork.org/handbook> for faculty interested in teaching and researching in the field. The 96 page handbook includes social entrepreneurship programs, majors and minors, the top cases in social entrepreneurship (based on feedback from faculty on the University Network Advisory council), core readings bibliography compiled by Alex Nicholls from the Skoll Centre for Social Entrepreneurship at the University of Oxford (there are over 800+ articles being assigned in social entrepreneurship courses to choose from, multimedia classroom resources, books, social entrepreneur organizations, business plan competitions, networks and conferences. The global directory of faculty teaching and researching in the field compiled by the team at Ashoka will give you resources of faculty to contact. The website has a host of information on social entrepreneurship and Ashoka is working on updating the website to be user friendly.

    My personal favorite resources for faculty new to the field include the academic textbook edited by Alex Social Entrepreneurship: New Models of Sustainable Change, a review of the Center for the Advancement of Social Entrepreneurship (CASE) at Duke University comprehensive website which includes solid research on where the field is heading, www.fuqua.duke.edu/centers/case<http://www.fuqua.duke.edu/centers/case>, the founder of Appalachian by Design Diane Browning, Barbara Lynch and I published a case on Appalachian By Design: Lessons on Creating Social Value in the Social Enterprise Journal if you want a great example of a case that students have to wrestling with the social mission and the economic reality of the nonprofit enterprise. Send me an email if you want to see the case and comprehensive teaching notes and epilogue.



    If anyone wants to update their course syllabi for our continued research on social entrepreneurship courses, please email it to me at debbi.brock@gmail.com<mailto:debbi.brock@gmail.com>. Let me know if you want it included on the USASBE syllabus exchange as well.



    Regards,

    Debbi

    Greetings to you, Ray,

     

     I agree the USASBE Syllabus Exchange is a very useful resource.  http://www.usasbe.org/knowledge/syllabus/syllabus/speciality.htm  I don't believe that any of them specifically target David's book.   Debbie Brock is really an expert in the field and has  given you some great references. 

     

    You asked for ideas using the Bornstein book as your text.  Given limited information on your potential students, I'm going to make some assumptions.  I'll assume the class is an introduction to social entrepreneurship.  The target student population would be interdisciplinary in the second or third year.   David's book tends to discuss global issues touching only slightly on the nonprofit management and for-profit partnerships.  Given these assumptions,  I think the class would be more of a research and discovery exercise.

     

    How to change the world... concentrates on the  vision and leadership that creates change both economic and social.   You may want to begin with the EPILOGUE.  Most of your students should still have some recollection of Sept 11, 2001.  (Although it may be more of a story told to them by parents, siblings and teachers.)  I would then go into the background and history with chapters 1-6.   David's identification of the "Six Qualities of Successful Social Entrepreneurs" chapter 18 could then be used by the students to research specific projects.  You could use the cases 7-17 & 19-20 as team projects or research new social entrepreneurs since 2004.

     

    I would also look at service-learning projects within your school.  Maybe with world health in your nursing school, or public policy and nonprofit management from the legal prospective.  Purdue has a lot of Ag and Engineering projects that have global impact.  We are creating a network here www.globalhub.org  to house and disseminate information on student projects.    

     

    On April 3rd we will host the Social Entrepreneurship and Education Consortium's (SEEC) North American Workshop on Social Entrepreneurship.  There will be 3-tracks identifying Education, Research, and Partnerships.  It is open to the public with more information available at  http://www.purdue.edu/innovate/src/Workshop.php   I hope to have a lot of information sharing come from this workshop.   You are welcome to attend.

     

    This is an exciting time for social entrepreneurship in education, research and implementation.  Good Luck! 

     

    All the best,
