Are

you

a social entrepreneur with

an

intellectual

disability?

Do

you

have a business, microenterprise, or non-profit?

If

so,

we want to talk to you! A

research project at the University of

Illinois at Chicago is interested in interviewing you about your

experiences in

social entrepreneurship.

Who?

You

can participate if you:

-

intellectual disability

-

live in

the Chicagoland area

-

What?

A

social entrepreneur is someone who is

self-employed and has started or tried to start a business,

microenterprise, or

non-profit with the goal of making a social problem better. The

goal of the

interview is to better understand your experience in social

entrepreneurship.

We will learn why you became a social entrepreneur, how you run

and manage your

business, and what supports help you.

Where

and When?

Interviews

will be held in Chicago this

October. You will be

able to choose

the date and place that works best for you. There will be two

interviews. Each

interview will last one hour.

Why?

This

research is part of a project looking

a social entrepreneurship as a pathway to employment for people

with disabilities

in Chicago .

As

part of our research, we are particularly interested in

including the voices of

social entrepreneurs with intellectual disabilities.
