Business and Economic History Workshops

In Venice and Padua 2025

I just attended my first BEH workshop this week in Venice and listened to Nicolai Jepsen’s fascinating conceptual history of “entrepreneurial hustle”.

Next week I’ll be presenting joint work with Matthew Hollow on women as rhetorical historians in the mid-century US and ask why rhetorical history is mostly about men - but nobody seems to realise this!

And the week after that, the fabulous Christina Lubinski will be joining us in Venice to talk about conceptual history in entrepreneurial research more generally, as part of her “Rethinking Entrepreneurship” project.

And if you are not in the Veneto right now, you can join us online - just scan the bar code on the post below!
