I am a PhD student in the field ...Dear Sir/Madame,<br /><br />I am a PhD student in the field of social and environmental innovation and management and I just stumbled upon you conference outline, which I think of as great initiative. <br /><br />However, what really struck me is that out of twenty speakers there are only two women speaking. How come diversity is not an issue in a field that speaks of social, environmental and economic integration and entrepreneurship? How should situations improve if not even in the highly educated academic field women participate in equal terms? <br /><br />I write this comment not to critizise bluntly but to mention this issue, which should be paid attention to and seen as opportunity to be dealt with on the 5th National Conference for Social Entrepreneurship.<br /><br />My very best regards and wishes for the success of your conference,<br />Marianne EsdersMarianne Esdershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09473163098146685429noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2088178951642555105.post-35335928064076172242011-11-28T08:02:40.213-08:002011-11-28T08:02:40.213-08:00going through the list of speakers and their organ...going through the list of speakers and their organisations i find that almost all of them have a substantial donor support. that is they are not out and out entrepreneurs using risk capital only. that is as it should be because as i have always argued the poor need to be subsidised to access development. however, this then brings up the important question as to why the subsidy should not be to empower the poor and enable them to put pressure on the government to implement welfare measures or even adopt a developmental model that is decentralised and more environmentally and socially just.Rahul Banerjeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03878406459334361611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2088178951642555105.post-69922794706094512592011-11-28T07:46:11.068-08:002011-11-28T07:46:11.068-08:00looks good. keep up the good work.looks good. keep up the good work.Rahul Banerjeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03878406459334361611noreply@blogger.com
