Urban informal economies are thriving, yet they are at odds with—and risk being disrupted by development policies of governments, aid agencies, and for-profit actors. Joel Bothello & @TimsWeiss share insights from their fieldwork in Nairobi and Cape Town. ssir.org/articles/entry…

@JonahZankl @UQ_Business @drtoubiana Amazing. Go you!!!

The last night of TIMS3304-Social Entrepreneurship @UQ_Business. Wrapped up with some provocations of the future of social enterprise and their societal effects (thanks @TimsWeiss and @drtoubiana for inspo!) and how we take skills forward to introduce systems change. Bittersweet!

@dandekadt Perhaps of interest is a paper where we discuss how the lack of ethics in experimentation can lead to negative outcomes in industry using labor platforms in the gig economy as a site for data collection. More here journals.aom.org/doi/abs/10.546… or osf.io/preprints/soca…
