ABOUT THE SYMPOSIUM
​This one-day symposium is designed for anyone interested in practice theories and their usefulness in entrepreneurship studies. Whether you are an early career scholar or a seasoned scholar curious about how practice theories can inform your entrepreneurship research, this symposium is for you. We especially welcome participants that typically cannot attend the in-person annual conference in the spring and newcomers to the research community to ease into the language and concepts of practice theory.
The programme includes a keynote presentation by Dr. Thomas Cyron, a discussion on publishing articles with Dr. Sara Elias, and a Paper Development Workshop. You will ‘meet’ leading scholars in the Entrepreneurship-as-Practice field, gain inclusive ‘behind the scenes’ insights into the process of drafting and publishing a practice theory paper, and receive feedback on your own research ideas in preparation for the annual Entrepreneurship-as-Practice conference in spring 2025.
PAPER DEVELOPMENT WORKSHOP (OPTIONAL)
Participants will have the additional opportunity to gain feedback on their ideas in a Paper Development Workshop (PDW). Participation in the PDW is not mandatory to join the rest of the Symposium. A PDW is designed to help you develop your ideas and assist in preparing an extended abstract for the annual conference or for publication. This workshop is open to all Symposium participants. Those who want to receive feedback, should submit an abstract for feedback by others in the group, and in turn, you will be asked to give feedback on another person’s submission. The extended abstract should be no more than 500 words (excluding references), outlining your ideas, research question, methods, and preliminary findings and discussion. If you are accepted into the PDW, you are required to provide feedback on other’s papers, which will share with all participants prior to the Symposium. Each group will include one experienced EAP scholar.
