| There is an emerging research interest into women immigrant entrepreneurship, acknowledging that the intersection between gender and ethnicity/immigrant status comes with specific challenges and opportunities which are not always covered in the separate literatures on immigrant or women entrepreneurs. This PDW seeks to advance research into gender and immigrant entrepreneurship by bringing together scholars interested in this topic for an interactive section to discuss research questions, theoretical perspectives and relevant approaches for further research in this area. Taking an identity formation perspective, the PDW explores theoretical and empirical approaches to the process of women immigrants ‘becoming’ entrepreneurs. Starting with theoretical insights from the leading scholars already doing research on women immigrant entrepreneurship, continuing with empirical examples from ongoing research by younger scholars, the PDW will thereafter engage the participants in a debate to further develop this important research agenda. To this end, facilitated round-table discussions and plenary summaries will be organized. |
