Teresa Chahine shares about teaching social entrepreneurship in two worlds on episode 161 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast.
Quotes from the episode
There is definitely a mental barrier between traditional charity and traditional commerce.
Social entrepreneurship is everything that lies between charity and commerce.
—Teresa Chahine
If you’re giving people money, you’re not actually changing the status quo, you’re helping them endure the status quo.
Teaching, practice, and research all inform each other.
Embrace failure as part of the process.
