Abstract
This paper critiques and re-imagines current research approaches to the field of social entrepreneurship. Taking a theoretical view of research as ‘enactment', this paper explores research as a constitutive act and explores a range of ways of relating with and constructing the subject of inquiry. Three models of enactive research are presented, each based on three verbs which denote the contours of a ‘dangerous' research agenda for social entrepreneurship. These include: (a) ‘critiquing' approaches to research through denaturalizing, critically performing and reflexivity; (b) ‘inheriting' approaches through contextualizing, historicizing and connecting; and (c) ‘intervening' approaches through participating, spatializing and minorizing.
