Senior Lecturer Kerryn Krige
I am passionate about strengthening inclusive models for social, environmental and economic growth. I am a specialist in social entrepreneurship and the social and solidarity economy.
In 2022 I joined the Marshall Institute as a senior lecturer in teaching practice. Prior to this I was chief-technical adviser with the International Labour Organization, developing a policy for the Social and Solidarity Economy in South Africa. This included providing support to the social and solidarity economy strategy for the African Union, and the South African government's Social Employment Fund.
Together with my PhD supervisors, we established the African Network of Social Entrepreneurship Scholars, which has a focus on connecting African SE scholars. Highlights for me include developing curriculum across three subjects: social entrepreneurship, measuring impact and impact investing; guest editing a special collection of teaching cases with Emerald, and organising the first colloquium in 2018 that brought us all together.
I am co-author, with Gus Silber, of the book The Disruptors - social entrepreneurs reinventing business and society; an Associate Editor with Emerald Emerging Market Case Collection, and the former lead of the Network of Social Entrepreneurs at GIBS. From 2018 - 2022, I was an independent trustee of the CSI Foundation for Momentum Metropolitan.
