This workshop provides a forum for scholars to present efforts and discuss opportunities to advance socially impactful research on voluntary social and environmental responsibility via entrepreneurship and innovation. The workshop will discuss academic social entrepreneurship and intrapreneurship emerging from the Reframery, a virtual online entrepreneurial incubator platform (Nafari, Honig, & Siqueira, 2024) founded on the principles of entrepreneurial ingenuity and self-imposed ethical constraints (Siqueira & Honig, 2019). This workshop will have the following two parts. First, the presenters will share projects investigating entrepreneurial ingenuity with social impact and environmental sustainability in underserved communities in various geographical locations, including Australia, Brazil, Kenya, Poland, and the United States. Second, the presenters will lead round-table conversations among participants exploring opportunities of establishing socially impactful academic research with marginalized populations in regions and contexts of interest to the attendees. The emphasis is on facilitating an interactive discussion on opportunities for collaboration and expansion into other regions and contexts in future socially impactful research.
