Can innovation be made more equitable?
This webinar sheds light on this question by engaging with the fellows of CIFAR’s IEP program around their recently published Industrial and Corporate Change special issue situating equity at the heart of a positive innovation-centered research agenda. During their discussions the authors will expound on their new approach that focuses on practices and places as the loci of inquiry. In this exciting webinar, they will discuss a range of issues and relate these to detailed case studies of industries, countries, social groups and localities.
