New Publication: “Institutional (ante)narratives of anticipatory entrepreneurial resilience: COVID-19 and the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor”

A new publication is always thrilling, and even more so when it’s with a wonderful student turned collaborator! The journey this paper traversed, from class paper to conference talk to adding new theoretical lens to finally publication in the Journal of Contingencies and Crisis Management, has been incredible and I’m glad to have worked with Allison Lucas on it! 😊 Read the article here.

New Animation Videos for CLEAR on Communicating VOC Health Risks

Last semester, two student teams in my Communication Studies capstone class developed a series of short animation videos highlighting the engineering and biomedical research at the NIH-funded Center for Leadership in Environmental Awareness and Research (CLEAR) Superfund Research Program to monitor, assess and remediate the health impacts of volatile organic chemicals (VOCs).

This is the first of those videos, describing Project 1, led by Dr. Glen Hood (Dept. of Biological Sciences).

New Publication: Entrepreneurial Support Organization (ESO) Narratives and Transitional Entrepreneurship in Detroit

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.”

Research Presentations and Mentoring at 2023 National Communication Association conference

It was a busy but fun conference at the National Communication Association this past weekend sharing research, (re)connecting with wonderful colleagues and friends, and learning new skills and knowledge! 💙

Allison Lucas and I shared our paper on how the US National Climate Assessment report invokes climate change risks and organizational responses (with coauthors Christine Nyawaga and Sandaruwan Subasinghe).

NEW White Paper: COVID-19 and BIPOC Entrepreneurs’ Resilience in Metro Detroit

Our NEW White Paper from the RISE Lab aim to cast a light on the struggles that Black, Indigenous and People of Color (BIPOC) entrepreneurs faced during the so-called “First Phase” of the COVID-19 pandemic in Michigan (approximately March-July, 2020) and how some of them have been able to bounce back. Because BIPOC entrepreneurs have historically been excluded from resources and opportunities, now, more than ever, it is important to recognize the unique challenges that face BIPOC entrepreneurs, and to establish a well-balanced and equitable system of support for all entrepreneurs.
