Talk podcast: Diversity & Entrepreneurship

Entrepreneurship is often portrayed as open to anyone—yet decades of research show that opportunities, recognition, and support are not equally distributed. Gender, ethnicity, social class, and institutional context matter deeply.
In this podcast episode, we explore diversity in entrepreneurship through a research lens. What we know, what we often overlook, and how this should change the way we think about entrepreneurship education, policy, and practice.
Together with Professor Ulla Hytti from the University of Turku and Dr Spinder Dhaliwal from the University of Westminster, we discuss the following questions:
- What do we mean by diversity in entrepreneurship?
- What are the structural barriers and hidden inequalities?
- What is the role of entrepreneurship education? Is it part of the problem or the solution?
- What are the implications for policy and ecosystems?
- What are the new research directions?
