I am a sociologist with interdisciplinary interests and experiences. My research focuses on diversity issues in entrepreneurship, including for entrepreneurship from migrant entrepreneurs, LGBTIQ* and ethnic minority entrepreneurs. I investigate the role of multiple contexts, including social and geographical contexts on entrepreneur’s experiences and activities. I have expertise in a variety of qualitative methods of inquiry to account for socio-spatial dynamics.
