Panel Symposium

This panel symposium aims to challenge existing theories and approaches to urban development

available in the mainstream entrepreneurship field through critical perspectives. By highlightingdifferent reasons, aims and practices based on which diverse individuals, groups and communities

engage in entrepreneuring activities for the purpose of urban development, we challenge the

underlying economic assumptions guiding entrepreneurship theory and research. To this effect, oursymposium aims to promote discussion around entrepreneurship as social change by focusing on its

sociocultural, political, and economic drivers. The panel participants will focus specifically on issues

such as food safety and urban activism, immigrant and transnational links in urban development,indigenous entrepreneurship in urban contexts, individual choice in social change for urban

development, and questions around who reaps the benefits of urban development. Our goal is to foster

conversation around these topics as well as discuss how critical perspectives can be utilized to redirect

theorizing and research in the entrepreneurship field.
