This is a bi-weekly undergraduate seminar that provides an overview of cultural entrepreneurship and introduces students to fundamental questions and approaches to the study of creating and legitimizing cultural organizations. Cultural entrepreneurship is a set of approaches for understanding entrepreneurial action that is based on similar cultural processes. Culture is at the foundation of entrepreneurship in two ways, a) entrepreneurs create and form organizations based on culture (culture as resource) and b) the legitimization and survival of organizations are based on the evaluation by audiences like society.

Cultural entrepreneurship is an active and fast-developing area of research in the social sciences, with challenges and opportunities for organizations as well as society. This course is broad and aims to give students an overview of cultural entrepreneurship by encouraging them to apply theoretical and empirical ideas to their own lives. Each introduced idea should be examined with the following questions in mind: how do I understand the topic for myself? How does it matter for my own life and my friends? what is/are the overarching question(s) with which the idea is concerned? What are the key concepts? What are the assumptions about causal forces? How far is the empirical evidence convincing? A sub-theme that you should consider is why some ideas seem to convince you more than others. That is, pay attention to the crafting and composition of ideas from YouTube videos to academic papers. Lastly, this course is about reflecting on your experiences and to formulate your own research questions and perspectives.

The Bachelor Program has three learning goals: (1) Acquiring Knowledge; (2) Creating knowledge; and (3) Preparing students for research and industry. This seminar primarily helps students acquire knowledge by introducing them to central topics in cultural entrepreneurship. This seminar secondarily helps students create knowledge by developing their skills for solving challenges in theoretical and practical ways and provides students with insight into potential future areas of interest.
