Constructing the 'social' in social entrepreneurship: A postcolonial perspective

Project: Dissertation

Project Details

Description

In my thesis, I explore the ‘social’ in social entrepreneurship, something that is generally left vague and open-ended in the literature. To highlight the political and ideological character of the ‘social’, I explore how it is constructed and upheld against resistance. I consider how an idea of the ‘social’ became established during the process of a sustainable transition taking place on a small Danish Island. Acknowledging the community resistance directed to this initiative, I adopt a postcolonial lens to shed light on the power relations implicated in the process of constructing the ‘social’.
