What makes the entrepreneur is what the entrepreneur-network does

Abstract

The experience of the University of Texas-Austin in entrepreneurial education is discussed, proposing to consider it not as something restricted to formal courses and programs but as something of the collective practice of things, students, professors, and staff. Under the light of the Actor-Network Theory, based on a study carried out from June/22 to April/23, We present partial results to describe the scenario where UT-Austin and its entrepreneurial education programs are inserted. It demonstrates that entrepreneurial education goes beyond the university, encompassing an extensive network of actors and heterogeneous relationships and producing effects beyond pedagogical projects or formalized intentions.
