Dr Anica Zeyen

I have been a full-time academic staff member at the School of Business and Management since January 2015.

Research

Research Interests: I am an active member of the Centre for Research Into Sustainability (CRIS) and the Centre for critical and historical research on organisation and society (CHRONOS). 

My research interests, at the intersection of sustainability and entrepreneurship, include the pro-social foundations, forms, and functions of organisations as agents of positive social change and their inherent ambivalences.  Here, my main focus is on social entrepreneurship and social innovation.

I am further interested in equality and inclusion, particularly in the context of disability. With my research, I aim to gain a deeper understanding into how to enhance economic participation and societal inclusion of people living with disabilities around the world.

PhD Supervision: I am interested in supervising PhD dissertations on social entrepreneurship and/or disability and inclusion.

Teaching

 During the academic year 2019/20 I teach and lead MN3745 Responsible Entrepreneurship and Innovation (3^rd year). I  also co-teach on MN3915 Business in Context (3^rd year).

I am a Senior Fellow of the Higher Education Academy (Advance HE).

I was awarded  the College Excellence in Teaching Award 2016.
