“…SMOs cultivate shared values and emotional connections (Glaeser, 2003) functioning as formal or semi-formal organizations in support of social movements (Montgomery et al, 2012). These functions can include collecting resources, maintaining and coordinating, defining organizational goals, as well as selecting, training, and replacing members (Walker & Martin, 2018).…”

The purpose of this conceptual paper is to explore the complexities and connections between women, femme, and nonbinary (WFN) collective social entrepreneurs, social movement learning (SML), and critical participatory action research (CPAR) within the fields of adult education (AE) and human resource development (HRD). WFN collective social entrepreneurship serves as a reaction and solution to system failures, by creating supportive learning environments. We discuss the potential of social movement learning (SML) in these collectives, offering marginalized learners opportunities for skill development, knowledge sharing, and social impact efforts. This paper proposes using CPAR as a research approach to support social movements and amplify marginalized voices. CPAR can illuminate the development and learning networks of WFN social entrepreneur collectives and emphasize the importance of inclusive and intersectional approaches in entrepreneurial education and research within AE/HRD.

“…eu/ food/ horiz ontal-topics/ farm-fork-strat egy_ en 3 Civil society organisations have been considered as constituting more silent forms of collective action with less opposition towards the current system and less adversarial protest action, campaigning and mobilising than social movement organisations. But the boundaries between civil society and social movement organisations are not clear-cut and sometimes merely reflect different academic disciplines (de Bakker et al, 2013;Walker & Martin 2019). and inspirational projects (2011, p. 690).…”

As one of the major causes of climate change, there is an urgent need for a fundamental transformation of the food system. Calls for greater sustainability underscore the importance of integrating civil society and the local knowledge of citizens in this transformation process. One increasingly relevant organisation that can actively engage a plurality of actors from across civil society is the Food Policy Council (FPC). In this paper, we explore the potential role of FPCs in sustainability politics to create an alternative food system, with a focus on the co-production of knowledge for policy-making. We propose that the co-production of knowledge requires knowledge inclusion, exchange and transmission, and we focus on the challenges that can arise for FPCs. Our paper shows that bottom-up emerging FPCs constitute a new form of alternative food organisation that can integrate and support the critical capacity of civil society in food system transformation, but also face potential struggles in the co-production of knowledge for sustainable food policy-making. The paper further highlights that co-producing knowledge in and for sustainability transformation is fundamentally a political process, with politics broadly conceived. It not only has relevance for the institutions of formal politics, but emerges in and is intrinsically linked to the grassroots collective action of contentious and prefigurative politics in civil society. FPCs (re)politicise food by combining these various kinds of sustainability politics, which constitutes their transformative potential.

“…They comprise offering participant services, collecting resources, managing and coordinating contributions, defining organizational goals, and selecting, training, and replacing members. These formal organizations are known as Social Movement Organizations (Walker and Martin, 2018). They can be defined in the following way (McCarthy and Zald, 1977): SMO enable the sharing of ideas, frames, tactics, and personnel across organizational boundaries and are an integral part of SM for goal achievement (Soule, 2012).…”

“…An open question remains whether the necessary collective action is an uncoordinated and independent effort of multiple actors (Van de Ven, 1993a) or an organized political process (DiMaggio, 1988). From the above arguments, the contribution of SM theory becomes evident as it deals with the paradox of embedded agency: SM are about causes of peripheral players and resource mobilization efforts in order to establish institutional change (Walker and Martin, 2018).…”

Understanding industry emergence through entrepreneurship from a social movement perspective

Industry emergence is a complex phenomenon. The entrepreneurship literature has been characterized by individualistic explanations (‘hero’ entrepreneurs), complemented by institutional approaches. Sociology studies can offer alternative explanations for industry emergence. We draw from the concepts of Social Movements to frame the process of industry emergence in its initial phase. We synthesize the theoretical research on social movements, entrepreneurship, and industry emergence in an effort to develop a conceptual framework to improve our understanding of the pre-emergence of an industry. Our main contribution lies in understanding entrepreneurship, and thus industry emergence, as a community process in which multiple actors eventually result in a reduced number of early start-ups, which gives rise to a new industry. In addition, we propose that the type of movement will lead to different enablers and barriers to industry emergence.
