Resumen
In this paper we uncover and systematize practical challenges and research priorities at
the intersection of entrepreneuring, rehabilitation and at-risk social groups. Our work
draws on practical challenges identified by service providers supporting vulnerable
individuals in the process of rehabilitation. They reveal long-standing issues in the
facilitation of emancipatory work and perspectives on the (actual and potential) role that
entrepreneuring may play in the process. Leveraging these ideas we offer the notion of
restorative entrepreneuring and put forward a cross-disciplinary agenda comprised by
five spaces and four levels of inquiry. We offer 20 action-oriented research questions,
reflecting research priorities that are relevant in both theoretical and practical terms. We
propose this practice-based agenda as a way of inspiring our scholarly community to
explore in more detail the capacity of and possibilities for a new restorative
entrepreneuring in the support of vulnerable members of our society.
