Abstract:
There is an emerging interest in how entrepreneurs interact with and enact context, acknowledging that context is not something that just "is" for entrepreneurs but instead is something they enact and construct. This PDW will explore current theories, data and methods that researchers are using to study gender, context, and entrepreneurship and the findings that have been generated to date. The adoption of a more critical appraisal of how context is positioned within current theorizing around gender and entrepreneurial behaviors offers potential to progress debate whilst acknowledging that competing and contrasting contextual influences require clearer recognition. By focusing on fatherhood, masculinity, (homo)sexuality, couple relationships, industry dynamics, and eco-systems (local, national, international), this PDW looks at different levels of gendered context and how they inform and shape entrepreneurship amongst men and women. The goal of the workshop is to bring together a set of researchers, each of whom examines gendering context and gendering entrepreneurship at different levels, and engage participants in the development of a research agenda. By gathering scholars with an interest in this area, we deploy this interactive workshop to discuss new research questions, concepts and theoretical foundations, and empirical approaches, with the ultimate aim of advancing research in this area. Specifically, the workshop will be applied to launch a call for papers in a special issue and/or call for chapters in a book.
