I am very interested in investigating the social enterprises in the creative and cultural industries. Any suggestions on who to contact would be very helpful.
The question and issue is to wide. For instance, there are several different art forms that behave completely different as a commercial and social enterprises. Culture is even a more ample area where you have, in addition to arts, a huge ample set of values and variables. Maybe, you should narrow down to a more specific area of culture (country, region) and art form for us to make suggestions.
Hi Crystal. The two main multidisciplinary research conferences in social enterprise/social economy are ISIRC and EMES. Their past programs should yield information about those researching in this area.
I am currently working on the YAE programme launched 2017. Have a look ,maybe it is interesting for you. We would like to have contacts to Australia to launch that idea in different countries.
I believe that you can work on the area of sustainability of social entrepreneurship. This is the biggest challenge that social enterprises are facing at this moment.
