СʪÃÃÊÓƵ

I am a researcher and educator in the field of (social) entrepreneurship. My overall research interest is in social entrepreneurship, social entrepreneurship education, hybrid organizations, and human capital. Further research interest is in understanding the intersectionality of gender, refugees, and (social) entrepreneurship, and their impact on sustainable development. In 2019, I completed my PhD in management from Politecnico di Milano in Italy. From 2019-2020, I worked as a postdoctoral researcher on a research project funded by the British Academy and based at the University of Birmingham in collaboration with Al-Balqa Applied University in Jordan. During my postdoc, I have undertaken an impactful research in Jordan which allowed me to expand on my knowledge and research experience in specific societal challenges such as forced migration and gender inequality. It also exposed me to novel research methodologies such as Virtual Reality and Art. I have an extensive experience in Jordan, the UAE and Italy of teaching specialist and executive social innovation and (social) entrepreneurship courses that have included a focus on societal and sustainable challenges.
