In this professional development workshop (PDW), we examine how race and ethnicity in entrepreneurship are constructed and reproduced across global contexts. Moving beyond traditional approaches that treat race and ethnicity as fixed categories, this workshop presents critical and emancipatory perspectives as lenses for analyzing the ethnoracialization of entrepreneurship as a dynamic, global phenomenon. This two-part workshop includes a special topic panel and journal editor roundtables. Our panel brings together speakers who will explore three interconnected topics: 1) challenging prevailing approaches to studying entrepreneurship that neglect, reproduce, or exacerbate inequality; 2) how entrepreneurship can serve as a site of resistance and transformation for racially marginalized or minoritized ethnic groups; and 3) how these dynamics manifest in concrete examples of indigenous and immigrant entrepreneurship. During the second portion of the workshop, participants will receive feedback on extended abstracts from journal editors and build connections with others who are studying these phenomena.
