Entrepreneurship in and as Education
This section collects our work on entrepreneurship in preschool, school, and higher education. Entrepreneurship in preschool and school is about creating the "enterprising individual" and can be seen as a way to stimulate students' creativity, but also as a policy instrument in a neoliberal policy that rewards self-employment. Different actors have different approaches to this, which is problematized in the studies. In higher education, it is often about teaching students how to start a business, and here we question the male norm in entrepreneurship education.
