RSA Summer Institute at Penn State University. The workshop will offer the opportunity for engaging in conversations and activities that locate local entrepreneurial practices and innovation ecosystems in the context of globalization. In so doing, we will
incorporate critical approaches to entrepreneurial studies related to neoliberalism; the Global South; decolonization; and diversity, equity, and inclusion.</span></p>
