'De Bruin and Teasdale guide us through the range of developments in the field and insightfully signal further areas of research to build a cumulative body of understanding on social entrepreneurship. The editors take us on an enjoyable journey, skilfully bringing together different disciplinary and methodological approaches from a diverse range of contributors. Highly relevant and recommended volume for all those with an interest not only in social entrepreneurship but also social innovation. A must read.'--Alex Nicholls, University of Oxford, UK'In a field that is constantly evolving, this volume is a great guide for students and practitioners of social entrepreneurship. Not only will it guide you through the territory of this relatively new field but it will also stimulate you with its possibilities. This is a must-read for any student and/or practitioner of social enterprise.'--Ana Maria Peredo, University of Victoria, Canada'Many articles in the field of social entrepreneurship are limited by their pursuit of absolute definitions. This Research Agenda expands the research possibilities for the field, drawing on new perspectives - from public health and development studies, to intersectionality and the law - to shed light on this ever-changing phenomenon.'--Candida Brush, Babson College, US
