“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.”

“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.”
— Chad Coffman, University of Missouri, Kansas City, 2017 graduate
“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.”

“This course was quite all-encompassing and a very good opportunity to develop a better overview of the literature.”

“[The seminar] was one of those courses where everything just came together and made all my other courses make sense.”
— Kelsey Hood Cattaneo, The New School, 2013 graduate
“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.”
