Australian Indigenous Entrepreneurs
On 7th April 2009 the Center welcomed Simon Down a Senior Lecturer (Associate Professor) at the University of Newcastle Business School (England). Simon is also the Deputy Director of the Centre for Knowledge, Innovation, Technology and Enterprise. His talk was entitled ‘Stigmatization and Self-Presentation in Australian Indigenous Entrepreneurial Identity Formation’. Simon gave a fascinating talk about his research on Australian Indigenous entrepreneurs and the challenges such people face in managing their identity as an aboriginal, their identity as an Australian and their identity as an entrepreneur. He talked about the challenges facing indigenous entrepreneurs and explored how they felt marginalized from the indigenous population.
