We are delighted to share that our Research Coordinator, Dr. Alessia Argiolas, has co-authored a new article recently published in the Journal of Business Venturing Insights (Elsevier).

The article, “Everyday aesthetics and visual methods for enlarging our approach to social impact”, explores how the subjective experience of social impact can be better understood through everyday aesthetics. Drawing on Katya Mandoki’s framework, the authors highlight how voices often missing in research, such as social entrepreneurs, vulnerable communities, and beneficiaries, can be brought forward.

The study also illustrates how visual research methods, including photography, video, photo elicitation, photovoice, and participant drawings, can capture and analyze these aesthetic manifestations of social impact, with examples from Latin America, Africa, and Asia.

This work advances theory and methodology on the social impact of entrepreneurship and demonstrates how innovative approaches can give a richer understanding of the lived realities of social change.
