    Dear friends and colleagues-

    Please join us in Anaheim to discuss "The Material and Cognitive Foundations of Culture in Cultural Entrepreneurship," a PDW sponsored by the OMT Division. We have a fantastic line-up of presenters, and expect to cultivate a vibrant discussion that identifies new research questions, methods, and solutions for scholars interested in the study of cultural entrepreneurship. We also plan to provide coffee and breakfast treats to reward everyone who makes it out for the first session on Saturday!

    Details concerning the time, location, and content of the PDW are summarized below, but please reach out to the organizers if you have any questions (m-mauskapf@kellogg.northwestern.edu orkangsanlee2016@u.northwestern.edu).

    What: PDW on "The Material and Cognitive Foundations of Culture in Cultural Entrepreneurship"
    When: Saturday, August 6, 8:00 AM to 9:30 AM
    Where: Orange County Ballroom 2 @ the Anaheim Marriott

    Organizers: 
    Kangsan Lee (Northwestern U.)
    Michael Mauskapf  (Northwestern U.)

    Presenters: 
    Candace Jones (U. of Edinburgh)
    Nina Eliasoph (USC)
    Paul Leonardi (UCSB)
    Patricia Thornton (Texas A&M)

    Discussant:
    Klaus Weber (Northwestern U.)

    Roundtable Discussion Leaders:
    Presenters, plus:
    Noah Askin (INSEAD)
    Vern Glaser (Alberta)
    Christopher Steele (Alberta)

    Summary:
    Where does culture live-in the world, or in our heads? This PDW represents a forum to re-examine cultural entrepreneurship by focusing on the material and cognitive foundations of culture. Research on cultural entrepreneurship has been conducted from a variety of perspectives, but the origins and consequences of culture remain a black box. While some scholars consider culture a material resource or condition at arises through social processes, others emphasize its cognitive and interpretive roots. Both of these approaches have generated important insights regarding cultural entrepreneurship, but it is unclear how best to integrate these perspectives and move forward. In the first part of the PDW, four senior scholars will give presentations that engage directly with this issue. In the second part of the PDW, presenters and discussants will lead roundtable discussions, with the goal of (1) identifying new research questions, methods, and solutions, and (2) growing a community of scholars interested in studying cultural entrepreneurship.
