Such profound changes generate new pathways\u00a0for migrants to organize and perform their entrepreneurial activities across transnational spaces\u00a0(cf Portes et al 2002). In this panel we interrogate the pertinence of\u00a0long-established paradigms in migration studies to capture the complexity of spatial movements and global connections created by contemporary transnational migrant entrepreneurs. While recognising the great potential of the &#8216;mobilities paradigm&#8217; (Urry 2000, Cresswell 2011) to tackle this question, we also acknowledge some remaining challenges. First, there is an unexplored potential to uncover the diversity of spatial mobilities and transnational connections created by migrant entrepreneurs beyond the spatial binary &#8216;country of origin and country of destination&#8217;. The multiplicity of connections with different locales across the globe and the ways and forms of connection are still poorly understood. Second, we have insufficient understanding of\u00a0how social inequalities are entangled with different capacities of spatial mobility\u00a0among migrant entrepreneurs, thus addressing the question of how and why some individuals become transnational entrepreneurs, whereas others do not.\u00a0Third, the potential of the &#8216;intersectional&#8217; perspective, which examines how gender, class, ethnicity, nationality, age, and migration experience shape the different capacities of spatial mobility of migrant entrepreneurs, has not been sufficiently addressed. This panel aims at gaining a deeper understanding of contemporary transnational migrant entrepreneurship. In order to do so, we welcome contributions that focus on one or several of the following topics:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The\u00a0multiple spatialities of migrants&#8217; entrepreneurial practices across local, regional and transnational geographies<\/li>\n<li>The different kinds of mobilities embedded in migrant entrepreneurship including the mobility of objects, bodies, capital and ideas across local, regional, and transnational spaces<\/li>\n<li>The question of how social inequalities are entangled with different capacities of spatial mobility\u00a0among migrant entrepreneurs<\/li>\n<li>The\u00a0social implications of different capacities of spatial mobility<\/li>\n<li>The role of migration and mobility policies in shaping the capacity of migrants to transform their transnational experiences of mobility into a resource for business<\/li>\n<li>The nexus between spatial mobility and social mobility<\/li>\n<li>The ways in which the transnational spatial practices of migrant entrepreneurs are gendered, and connected to class, ethnicity, nationality, age, and migration experience<\/li>\n<li>New methodological approaches for exploring cross-border spatial mobilities in entrepreneurship research<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Submissions<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We welcome abstracts of no more than 250 words including a title, your name, email, and institutional affiliation by<strong>\u00a024 November 2019<\/strong>\u00a0at the latest.
