Research

My research area is to link together gender issues with entrepreneurship in rural settings.

In my thesis, I ask how gender comes about and change in relation to entrepreneurship. Focusing on entrepreneurship within a gender perspective means acknowledging that the underrepresentation of women entrepreneurs is persistent despite numerous programs, initiatives and research projects claiming to increase women’s participation in entrepreneurship. 

The thesis aims to contextualise gender-in-entrepreneurship, which means focusing on when, how, and why entrepreneurship happens. Gender-in-entrepreneurship implies a focus on how women and men perform gender in entrepreneurship while questioning underlying masculine assumptions of entrepreneurship. By combining the two ideas, this thesis adds to our understanding of how the gender process intertwines with entrepreneurship and takes place in a spatial context.
