CALL FOR PAPERS
Geographies of Entrepreneurship in Local and Global Economies:
Contexts, Practices, and Processes
CFP: 2012 Annual Meeting of the Association of American Geographers
(AAG) NY, Feb 24-28
Abstracts due: September 28, 2010
Organizers: Ben Spigel (University of Toronto) and Hyejin Yoon
(University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee)
Entrepreneurship is one of the most important sources of economic
resilience, growth, and innovation. Across the spectrum of
entrepreneurship studies, researchers are realizing the importance of
local context and geography in the entrepreneurship process. These
contexts create the environment within which entrepreneurs and other
actors carry out the actions that underlie firm formation, growth, and
change. This session will explore the local, regional, national and
global geographies of entrepreneurship and entrepreneurs in both the
developed and developing world. Potential topics in this session
include:
* Conceptual frameworks of geographies of entrepreneurship
* Socio-economic contexts of local entrepreneurship
* Cultural institutions and entrepreneurship
* Evolutionary perspectives on spin-off firms
* Entrepreneurial financing and venture capital
* Gender, geography, and entrepreneurship
* Ethnicity and entrepreneurship
* Connections between entrepreneurship, small businesses and regional
economic development
* Entrepreneurship in developing regions or countries
* Entrepreneurship in non-entrepreneurial or struggling regions
Please send abstracts and PIN to Hyejin Yoon (

Spigel (
