Is Social Entrepreneurship the new "ism" the world is looking for?

Social entrepreneurship is not capitalism and it's not socialism. It provides a different approach on how the world thinks about creating value and addressing need. Do inequities and injustices, the health of our planet or the general state of affairs keep you up at night? Are you passionate about creating a more just world? Could your research help mitigate an important societal issue? In this panel conversation three social entrepreneurship faculty will discuss how they see the field of social entrepreneurship evolving. They are eager to share from their own experiences what they feel are the most exciting opportunities, tensions and things to consider for all those eager to embark on a social entrepreneurship journey or are simply curious about this new "ism".

What to expect:
Single workshop (one-off workshop –" 2 hours total)

Meet the facilitator:
Manish Bhardwaj is the CEO and co-founder of Innovators In Health, which is devoted to delivering world-class healthcare to the rural poor in India. He is also serving as the 2021-22 James Wei Visiting Professor in Entrepreneurship at the Keller Center. Manish believes that a venture to make the world more just is fundamentally a moral, not technical, undertaking. It requires cultivating a moral imagination, an ability to imagine why people do right or wrong, the root of empathy, itself the root of all enduring change. He believes that to stand with the marginalized, literally and figuratively, is a moral imperative, and in and of itself a powerful means of change. Majora Carter is an urban revitalization strategy consultant, MacArthur Fellow and Peabody Award winning broadcaster and is a lecturer at the Keller Center. Her work encompasses the creation and successful implementation of numerous economic developments, technology & green-infrastructure projects, policies and job training & placement systems. Through her work she has transformed low-status communities into thriving mixed-use local economies and helped increase wealth building opportunities across demographics left out of all historic financial tide changes. John Danner teaches courses on innovation, strategy and venture development at UC Berkeley-Haas School of Business and Princeton University’s Keller Center. He is also a senior moderator for the Aspen Institute, a frequent public speaker and author. This panel will be moderated by Keller Center Executive Director, Cornelia Huellstrunk.
