It’s a special kind of thrill when you coauthor a journal article with your PhD student, and I’m so glad to have worked on this manuscript with Allison Lucas! Our OPEN-ACCESS article examines the narratives used by entrepreneurial support organizations (ESOs) in the Detroit entrepreneurial ecosystem, to better understand how they discursively shape the opportunities and challenges for so-called transitional entrepreneurs. It was published in a Special Issue of the interdisciplinary New England Journal of Entrepreneurship on “Transitional entrepreneurship: unleashing entrepreneurial potential across numerous challenging contexts.”
