Carolina Seminar on Innovation for the Public Good

January 27, 2021 @ 4:30 pm - 5:30 pm

Carolina Seminar on Innovation for the Public Good
Jan. 27 at 4:30 p.m.

“How to think about social innovation?” with Dr. Danielle Logue from the University of Technology Sydney, Australia.

This conversation will consider whether social innovation is more hype than substance, looking at when and where the concept emerged, and argue that it is not new but rather a contemporary manifestation of historical tensions between ‘economy’ and ‘society. From across academic and practitioner literature, Dr. Logue looks at how social innovation often generates new networks and collaborative configurations across individuals, organizations, and sectors, and how it also requires us to be conscious of the implicit and different moralities at play when we invoke or operate under the guise of ‘social innovation’. She identifies three frameworks that highlight and open up distinct ways to think about social innovation: (1) as a form of social value creation, capture, and distribution; (2) as a polysemous concept that creates networks of meaning necessary in cross-sector collaborations; and (3) as striving for institutional change.

Registration required.
