Race, Ethnicity, and Entrepreneurship

Overview

The Institute for Humane Studies is inviting applications to “Race, Ethnicity, and Entrepreneurship.” This multidisciplinary series of online roundtable discussions will explore the barriers to entrepreneurial activity faced by different racial and ethnic groups.

Understanding these barriers requires zooming in on the characteristic experiences of racial and ethnic minorities. This includes the history of racially motivated legislation, regulation, and enforcement policies, and their ongoing effects. This discussion series will dig into that history, as well as contemporary analogs, to explore entrepreneurial activity and the barriers to it for groups such as Black, Indigenous, and Asian Americans.

Please note that participants are expected to acquire their own readings and will receive an honorarium of $125 plus a $30 book stipend per session.
