Transitional Entrepreneurship
At Strome College of Business, Old Dominion University

Entrepreneurship among Veterans, Historically Marginalized groups, Women, Immigrants, and 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 23rd and 24th, 2023. The colloquium is the third of a series of annual colloquia sponsored by a grant from the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation. The 2023 edition of the colloquium will be in a hybrid format.

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, 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.

Colloquium Mission

  • Bring together a diverse community of scholars, practitioners, and policy makers interested in entrepreneurship among transitional communities.
  • Generate and disseminate a body of knowledge that motivates relevant future research projects and actionable ideas in transitional entrepreneurship

Format

Panel discussions: Leading scholars share their work and provide thought-provoking ideas and directions for future research in transitional entrepreneurship.

Paper sessions: Scholars are offered an opportunity to present their research and receive feedback from attendees.

Case study sessions: Transitional entrepreneurs and mentors share their experiences.

Pedagogical Contributions: Presenters provide innovative methods to share knowledge with practitioners in various settings. For instance: Traditional Universities, Community Colleges, Entrepreneurship Centers, Incubators, or any other entity that facilitates learning for practitioners.

Networking and Meet the Editors sessions
