Primary research areas
Historical Market Formation
Markets must be made. Historical research reveals the people, spaces, and actions that brought people together in market relationships.
Responsible Entrepreneurship
Entrepreneurship can be a positive good in society but sometimes it goes wrong. Understanding the circumstances where responsible entrepreneurship flourishes can help make a better future.
Entrepreneurialism
Entrepreneurship is not just an act of venture creation. It has become an ideology that shapes what we believe and how we work and live.
I work to understand how people have justified entrepreneurial action through time
