Teaching

I have an experience of teaching undergraduates and postgraduates programmes in a variety of different disciplines such as Entrepreneurship, International Business and Social Sciences.

My current teaching include:

• International Entrepreneurship
• Social Entrepreneurship
• Family Business
• Research Methods

I am a fellow of the Higher Education Academy since 2013 and I am interested in developing new collaborative approaches to teaching (including international collaborative teaching projects, e.g. with the University of Kiel, Germany). 

Research Interests

• Diversity in entrepreneurship
• Migrant and minority entrepreneurship
• Contextualised view of entrepreneurship
• Internationalising ventures
• Entrepreneurial ecosystems
• Entrepreneurial learning

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.

Trained in qualitative research methods at the Centre de Sociologie des Organisations at Sciences Po – CNRS (France), I have a strong experience of conducting qualitative research fieldworks in different industries and national contexts in order to deliver impactful research for policy-makers. I am engaged in interdisciplinary and collaborative projects, bridging to other disciplines such as Sociology, Geography, entrepreneurship and urban anthropology. My most recent fieldworks include:

• Transnational returnee entrepreneurs in Poland (2018)
• LGBTIQ* migrant entrepreneurs and their markets in European Cities (2017)
• The role of support institutions on the development of the online Gambling entrepreneurial ecosystem in Malta (2016)
• Approximating and mapping entrepreneurial superdiversity in Glasgow (2016)
• Polish migrant entrepreneurs in Glasgow (Ph.D. thesis and further works)
