Student Testimonials
“Professor Tom Lumpkin’s doctoral seminar gave me a fantastic grounding in social entrepreneurship research. It has also provided me with a great network of scholars working in the field. As a doctoral student, I left the seminar with a clearer understanding of (1), what work I would like to focus on during my PhD and (2), what type of academic I aspire to become. I therefore, highly recommend this seminar to doctoral students and academics interested in researching social entrepreneurship.”
“This course was quite all-encompassing and a very good opportunity to develop a better overview of the literature.”
“One of the main strengths of the class, for me, was the size. It was the perfect number of people to introduce a variety of perspectives, while allowing everyone to share their thoughts. The atmosphere you create by encouraging/directing the discussion really made it engaging.”
“[The seminar] was one of those courses where everything just came together and made all my other courses make sense.”
“It was a unique and wonderful academic experience for me… The selection of papers was quite special, giving students who want a real immersion into the SE subject an opportunity to learn fast about what is out there and the main discussions around SE.”
“Would I recommend the course to a colleague? YES. It is so rare to find a place where SE research is approached well… I really enjoyed the structure and content of the 10 sessions.”
