I currently teach the course Social Entrepreneurship and Innovation, a strategy for sustainability in Lund University, Sweden.
I’ve been researching the social economy for the last 10 years, in particular, I studied co-operatives, social enterprises, voluntary organisations, community organisations and charities in different settings in Europe and Latin America. I consider the current economic system is very unfair, specially for those living in the global South, and there are alternatives emerging from this context that deserve wider recognition in order to shape an economic order that includes everyone. My current research project is on Grassroots Financial Innovations and Social Entrepreneurship, where I study collective economic innovations as a way to improve communities’ financial situation, particularly in terms of community currencies.
Primary research areas:
Social Entrepreneurship, Social Innovation, Sustainable organisations, Social Economy.
