Carolyn is a Lecturer and Chancellor's Fellow at the Hunter Centre for Entrepreneurship, Strathclyde Business School. Her research explores how and whether (social) entrepreneurship and (social) innovation may contribute to challenges in contexts. She is also interested in participatory and community-led approaches with an emphasis on marginalised and disadvantaged groups.  

Carolyn enjoys working collaboratively and has developed networks nationally and internationally (particularly in South and South East Asia and sub-Saharan Africa). 

Carolyn has been awarded £1.6m in funding (as Co-I and PI ). As PI, her research has focused on youth, women, (social) entrepreneurship, active citizenship and social impact, with an emphasis on South Africa, Ghana, Nepal and Sri Lanka.  Funding: British Council, European Commission, and GCRF.

At Strathclyde Business School, I teach International Entrepreneurship (where students develop international market entry plans for local and national businesses) and Lead the Internship Pathway of MDP.
