Abstract

The aim of this special issue is to reopen the debate on inequalities in entrepreneurship opportunities by providing a space for a dialogue between established intersectionality theories and the emerging relevant approaches of contextualized or situated positionality-based entrepreneurship. Our focus was to develop a series of manuscripts that examine entrepreneurship by looking at multiplied or amplified inequalities which can be explained, through the concept of intersectionality among others. Capturing discrete combinations of multiple sources of disadvantage that individuals experience, intersectionality, originated from the work of Crenshaw (1991), and has been utilised in the field of entrepreneurship, by Abbas et al. (2019), Dy et al. (2017), Barrett and Vershinina (2017) and Lassalle and Shaw (2021). Yet this special issue was a call to develop and broaden it further in entrepreneurship research.
