In this professional development workshop (PDW), we explore the topic of entrepreneurship and race, with particular although not exclusive attention to underrepresented racial minorities (URM), racial and ethnic groups with a disproportionately low presence in positions of power and status. This PDW will introduce the audience to an important yet distressingly neglected area of research and provide the audience an opportunity to discuss pre-submitted extended abstracts with editors from top entrepreneurship journals. Our ultimate goal for this PDW is to encourage a broad research agenda on race and entrepreneurship that captures both the structural qualities of marginalization and the agentic qualities of entrepreneurship.
