Research: How to Close the Gender Gap in Startup Financing
Gender disparities persist in entrepreneurship and statistics reveal the severity of the issue. Globally, only one in three businesses is owned by women.

Intersectionality in Intractable Dirty Work: How Mumbai Ragpickers Make Meaning of Their Work and Lives
Dean A. Shepherd, Sally Maitlis, Vinit Parida, Joakim Wincent and Thomas B. Lawrence Abstract Recent dirty work research has begun to explore intersectionality, attending to how meaning is made at the intersection of multiple sources of taint.

What Are We Explaining? A Review and Agenda on Initiating, Engaging, Performing, and Contextualizing Entrepreneurship
In 2001, Bill Gartner noted that “entrepreneurship espouses a diverse range of theories applied to various kinds of phenomena. There is no theory of entrepreneurship that can account for the diversity of topics that are currently pursued by entrepreneurship scholars” (34). The situation is similar today. Each scholar contributes to the knowledge of entrepreneurship but more so if the pieces of the puzzle come together.
