New Publication: “Graduate students’ resilience and resistance: Exploring adaptive-transformative possibilities in higher education”

This paper probably takes the prize for “Longest time between study design and publication” – a whopping THIRTEEN years! 😁 Nevertheless, the issues we investigated still remain crucial, despite a “minor” event like a global pandemic happening in the meantime, and perhaps a key reason I’m excited to see it in print is because it’s finally out there!

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.
